Downtown

It was a nice, pleasant evening when I parked the car and walked over to the new Broadway Bridge in North Little Rock (yes, I know it's technically the Veteran's Memorial Bridge now but old habits die hard). A few people zoomed by on scooters but otherwise it was quiet along the walkway, and I set up the tripod and got a few pictures....

And a view from closer to the river, where a light breeze ruffled the water.

And walking further down the sidewalk in the park takes you underneath the Main Street Bridge. The fisheye lens helped with this view, as traffic rumbled by overhead.

From there I headed across the river and went to the top of a parking deck, which provided this view of the intersection of Main and Third Streets.

And then a few blocks away I stopped to get a shot of one of my favorite buildings in downtown Little Rock - the Center Place Building. It was originally called the Union Life Building and was built in 1916. The narrow 12-story tower has a dominating presence, which isn't surprising considering most the of buildings around it have been torn down and replaced by parking lots. But it does share the block with Dave's Place - a great little place to eat.
