Rhode Island School of Design Tours

This shot was taken in front of RISD, the Rhode Island School of Design. In the foreground, two rivers meet, the Moshassuck and the Woonasquatucket.

In the background one can see the 'new' Providence. Most of these buildings have gone up within the past 25 years, after these two rivers were moved. In the warmer weather, Waterfire can be seen illuminating these rivers.

View up the Providence River towards Waterplace and the Basin. This is during a Waterfire celebration in September 2013.

Walking down Thayer Street, I saw this interesting scene. I was drawn to the big, solid colours and strong, geometric composition.

A statue of theologian Roger Williams was built in the late 1930s.. The 15-foot tall granite statue commemorates Williams' founding of the state of Rhode Island and his promotion for religious freedom. The statue depicts Williams gazing over the city.

This is such a great place to get spectacular views of the city. The park faces west so the sunsets can be fantastic.
