This is the late evening sun streaming across Stewart Park. The acoustic shell on the left is where they play free music and films in the summertime. Lyle Lovett has played there as well as a lot of other big names. They also show free films there in the summer months. Hundreds of people show up for these events. They come in the morning and place their blanket on the grass in front of the stage and then come back to their place that evening. Amazingly the blankets are still there when they come back. By mid-morning or early afternoon the grass is a patchwork of blankets. I think that if anyone was caught stealing one of these blankets they would be lynched, so sacred is this event to the people around here.
Behind the shell is the Umpqua River where Dudley swims in the summer. I think I have mentioned before that this park is five minutes from the house and this is just a portion of it.
This panorama is a composite of three photos merged together and it is my first attempt at this.
