Dwarfed in Spades Park

Along Brookside Parkway on the west end of Spades Park...

10th and Dearborn

I took some shots of E. 10th Street this weekend with this intersection as the focal point. I went out in the early hours to make use of the morning lighting. Most of these shots have quite a bit of detail to them and are much better if viewed large.


The Rivoli was built in 1927 and is rumored to be haunted...

Brookside View

I've always loved the view from here. Looking towards downtown from Massacheusetts Avenue, close to Rural Street. Brookside Park is located just after the signal (Valley Street) in the distance.

Definitely better if view large...

Indianapolis Neighborhoods - Sherman Drive and Brookside Pt. 2

All of these photos were taken North of 16th Street on or near Massachusetts Ave. I started to run out of daylight, so I didn't get as many shots of the area that I wanted to. There's a lot of interesting things to shoot around here; like old infrastructure and warehouses. I would like to come back and take some more shots when the weather improves.

Old school C9 lamps, illuminated Santa and candles makes me feel like a kid again.


Hamilton and Massachusetts in front of a warehouse.

The same warehouse as in the previous shot; I think the trimming and color scheme of the building is pretty cool.

Have Rottweiler, will travel...

I started to quickly run out of daylight...

The downtown skyline from Massachusetts Ave, close to Keystone Ave.

View of the sunset from Massachusetts Ave.

Massachusetts and Valley Avenues. This four-way intersection can only be completely seen looking North; I nominate this for the Most Hazardous Intersection of the Week Award (if such a thing existed).

Indianapolis Neighborhoods - Sherman Drive and Brookside Pt. 1

Technically, some of these shots from this multi-part post are from the Brightwood-Martindale neighborhood as well, but I never crossed Massachusetts Ave into the actual neighborhood. The route I took was mainly an industrial one along old rail road tracks and bridges. I chose this route because that's what I wanted to shoot originally, but came back with more than I originally planned.

Sherman Dr. and Southeastern Ave.

Close up.

I would like to thank this establishment for providing me a place to park in this otherwise pedestrian unfriendly area. Don't know quite what the sign says, but the sign graphic and 'Bikini Shows' says enough, I guess.

This bridge is also on Sherman Drive, about half a mile south of Washington Street. Unlike the the other bridge, it doesn't have it's constructed year stamped on it, but it looks to be in it's accelerated years.

Ouch!

The concrete is showing it's age as well.

Not a very pretty site, but it still has a lot of charm.

I guess that's one way of immortalizing yourself.

Once you come out on the other side of the bridge, you are greeted with this.

Another side of the same building.

On the other side of the bridge; this is an interesting looking building.

Why hello furry little visitor; well OK, I was the visitor.

There are not many houses on this area of Sherman, but the ones that are there, look similar to this.

At a strip mall at E. Washington Street and Sherman Dr. Looks like it may have been an old theatre, possibly of the XXX persuasion, but who knows?

10th and Sherman. I love the mural, it complements the underpass well.

More coming soon...
