Mary S. Young Park | Part Three

Mary S.Young Park Wooden Walkway
Sorry, only half of Mary S. Young Park is going to show up on these three posts..but I hope I captured some of the best, most photogenic parts of it.

The place is huge and is a very gracious gift to the people of West Linn, Oregon.  I'm sure they appreciate it very much.  It's kept very clean and I don't see any type of foul littering.

Most urban areas have some kind of park, ball fields, picnic areas...whatever. But, most do not have anything close to what this Park has to offer in the way of cool walking paths...and, that feeling of being out in the wilderness and breathing the air.

All of the photos here were taken with a Nikon Point and Shoot Camera and converted into High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR)...processed through Photomatic software and finalized in Photoshop Elements. Things will look different to you...some folks like the look...some folks loathe it.

Mary S. Young Park

Trillium
Oregon has some of the coolest parks you'll ever run across and, Mary S.Young Park in West Linn is right up there with all of them.

The Park is located dead smack in the middle of an urban area...which makes it unique. When you're in the Park it's feels like you're in the wilderness and forty miles from nowhere. 

Mary S. Young Park is located on 140 acres of prime property next to the Willamette River. At one time it was a State Park now it is maintained by the City of West Linn.

Above, is a shot of a Trillium...a wild, rare flower that are scattered throughout Mary S. Young Park.  And, they are coveted...walking out with a bouquet may get you Gulag time.

I cannot post all the photos in one setting, so this will be continued.
