Spokane river and one of the Islands
by dabidc
Once again the contrast between the tow parts of the river is amazing.
There is a form of spillway to ensure anyone on the river is not swept into the rapids and later the waterfall.
I guess in this year of 2004 there is a 30th anniversary of the original Expo 74. the leagacy of the expo is the enhanced Riverfront Park and the fun and pleasure it gives to both visitors and residents alike.
Spokane River Falls.
by dabidc
The previous photo of Gonzaga University showed the Spokane river as a serene, calm river gently moving from east to west. I have also shown the two side of the river at Riverfront Park. One the calm waters great for boating, the other views show the rapids on the almost uncontrolled section of the river.
Now you see the combined streams of the river come together and crash down a waterfall and then flow west in the narrow canyon towards High Bridge Park.
I believe the repairs are to the Monroe Street Birdge.
Spokane
by GuthrieColin
Spokane has a pretty dreary reputation. It is one of the largest cities in the state of Washingtong and for that reason has a fair amount of crime and "bad neighborhoods" if you avoid them though you will find that their are many desireable things in Spokane. The best of which is the largest (by volume) waterfall in Washington state (Spokane Falls) and the city has made that attraction very acessable.
