Parks

My son and grandfather (my grand father, his great) at Herbert Park in Dublin.

Going to local parks is a favorite activity of mine.

People enjoying the grounds of York Minster on a summer day.

Various people using the Jing Shan Park in Beijing. Some are twirling large ribbon streamers.
Man and woman doing dance moves, boom box playing their music in the background.
Man preparing to fly a kite and boy about to mount a bike with training wheels.

Parks are where the people are. You can tell a lot about a place by its parks and how they are used. When I have time in a city I like to walk through the parks.

Concrete steps with a verdigris railing.
Woman sitting in the grass beside a sculpture of a pumpkin, including vine and blossoms, her three wheeled work trike is in the foreground.
Bronze sculpture of a grandfather playing Chinese chess with children in Shouguang, China.
Granite sculpture of a boy skateboarding.

A lot of times there are sculptures and other decorations that are fun to see. Or just a good view.
