For the project itself I took a picture of the Upper Falls in the down town park. The Spokane River runs straight through the center of town, and from what i hear is one of the only cities in the country to have a waterfall at its center. The pics I got are of the Upper Falls, which are smaller, but for about 5 bucks and a long wait you can ride the gondola to see the Lower Falls. I've seen them once, and they're pretty impressive. I'm guessing the waterfall is about 70 ft plus.
When i went to take the digital pictures, I was in for a bit of a surprise. I had forgotten that the Gay Pride Festival was going on, and so was the Battle of the Bands. The pride festival had just ended, so there were a few stragglers running around half naked holding hands covered in body paint. Add that with the bands playing, the usual crowd of homeless people, the people on skate boards, the guys just laying around in the park and the kids playing in the fountains, it made for an interesting atmosphere.
The downtown park is always an interesting place, aside from the people. They've got a huge Imax theater, a big fountain and few other rides for kids. All in all, its a pretty damn cool place.
