Morning in Lithia Park

Taking my new 70-year old Leica for a photo shoot.

Sundays I’ve been going out mornings to take photos. My first excursions were to Lithia Park, which was designed by John McClaren, the man who designed San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

This fountain is the Butler-Perozzi Fountain, hauled all the way to the Pacific Northwest in 1915 from the Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. It’s striking to think that an fountain carved in Italy would end up in what was then a an unknown logging town.
