A closer view, of the weathered bricks, on the side of Farmers Union Coffee. The weathered bricks on the side of Farmers Union Coffee had taken on a deep red hue. The Farmers Union Coffee building was built of brick. That brick used to be painted white, but that white paint over the years had weathered off the bricks. The upper bricks on the wall of Farmers Union Coffee were weathered too.

Old pipes ran from the Old Power Plant into the Willamette River. Those pipes accessed water to make steam. A closer view of the Old Power Plant revealed more broken windows. The sign embedded in the concrete in front of the Old Power Plant formed a circle and was covered in more illegible words. A sign was embedded in the concrete of the new path in front of the Old Power Plant. That sign read, in part, "Electrical Transmission, the Coils the Insulators the Terminals." The side of the Old Power Plant as it looked just before it was to be remodeled. The river-facing side of the Old Power Plant was covered with broken windows.

A plaque on the other side of a cyclone fence explained, "Millrace Industrial Site History." A new asphalt path provided access for pedestrians and bicycles to Downtown Riverfront Park. Motor vehicle access to Downtown Riverfront Park was along a road from the north. The path into Downtown Riverfront Park passed underneath a section of elevated freeway. Access into Downtown Riverfront Park was across a road and down a path toward the covered picnic area. Park access was at the end of 5th Avenue and kitty-corner across the street and across railroad tracks. A train had just passed, so access to the entry path was clear and accessible.

Power lines ran over the path leading into the park. This shot was taken while looking north from the south entrance to the new Downtown Riverfront Park. Fresh native grass had just been planted next to the path leading into the new Downtown Riverfront Park. A closer shot of one of the two blue tables with matching chairs that provided seating for a picnic or perhaps a game of chess. A large roof covered a dozen blue picnic tables with matching chairs. The covered area was the north-most end of the new Downtown Riverfront Park. A non-self-shaded bench also possessed a dramatic view of the river.

Downtown Riverfront Park Art, A New Park, Eugene, Oregon

Photographs of people were printed on the slats that made up one of the borders at the edge of the new Downtown Riverfront Park in Eugene, Oregon. The most striking part of this image was the sparkling design on the glasses. A somber face stared out at the people viewing it. A closer view of the half face at the extreme right-hand edge of the display. If you look carefully, you can see the individual slats that made up the face. One of the faces on the border fence had faded to the point that it was almost ghost-like. Young and old versions of the same face were combined before printing on the border fence.
