Cleveland in HDR – The 6th City Collection

Today’s Photo: Wade Lagoon University Circle

The lagoon is located on the south end of Wade Park, in front of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Yes, it’s in Cleveland not Washington D.C. or Paris. This beautiful piece of land was donated to the city by Jeptha Wade in 1882 with the intention of building an Art Museum. The statue located in foreground of the photo is the 1928 Night Passing the Earth to Day by Frank Jirouch. If you ever have an afternoon free and want somewhere to relax this place is perfect. Walk along the lagoon, eat lunch under a tree and then take a stroll through the art museum. It is a wonderful place that is rarely crowded and always free.

Hello everyone,

I have decided to start this blog so I can post the photos I take of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. It is my intention to post a new photo each day, Monday through Friday. Hopefully my photos can do the city I love justice and present it in a positive light. Cleveland is truly a beautiful city and a wonderful place to live. Please sign up so you can leave comments on the photos and offer any suggestions on how I can improve this blog. Thank you for taking a look at my work.

Today’s Photo:
North Coast Harbor

North Coast Harbor is located in downtown Cleveland on the shore of Lake Erie. It includes (from left to right) the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Great Lakes Science Center, Cleveland Browns Stadium, and the Steamship William G. Mather Museum. The city’s tallest buildings can be seen in the background. The harbor was home to the Great Lakes Exposition during the summers of 1936 and 1937. The Exposition was used as a way to energize a city that was hit hard by the Great Depression and drew nearly 7 million people to the city during its two summers.

This Photo was taken from Voinovich Bicentennial Park.
