Riverwalk: Cotanchobee Fort Brooke Park

The sun set and the lights on the Tampa Riverwalk wound along the wide walkway beside Garrison Channel. From the new Tampa Bay History Center, past the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina, under the Harbour Island Bridge, around the corner by the Tampa Convention Center and then north, the Riverwalk becomes more and more a jewel in Tampa's crown. Connecting museums and parks while letting tourists and residents enjoy being on the water is reaching and even exceeding the projects goals. With the grand opening of Heroes Plaza in the Cotanchobee Fort Brooke Park on September 11, the park is complete. Very nice! Congratulations Tampa! We can all be proud.

  1. Great curve to the path; I wonder what it would be like on a sunny day in monochrome with high contrast?

  2. @ John - I must go back and try some monochrome interpretations. You're right, it might be far better then simple color.

  5. Love the contrast of the dark palms and the light shining on the walkway. I can imagine strolling there on a warm evening.
