The other day, while I was "gone walkabout" for a couple of days, trying to figure out/clarify my direction in life, I headed from the Newport Transpo Center bustop, down Avocado, to the library. The area between Avocado and Macarthur was overgrown land for years and years. At some point, while I was back East, the city developed it into a park like area, with wandering trails, a big lookout thing, various sculptures, and a dog park. I've walked along the edge of it many times. I even slept in it a few nights while homeless in the area. But I never walked through the lower part, right above the Newport Beach Civic Center. It was a beautiful Spring day, so I decided to cross the footbridge from the top to lower section, and looked out from the raised lookout point a bit.
At that point, I decided to take some photos as I wandered around. This is something I've been doing more and more of, since acquiring and old iPhone 5, a couple years ago. With that as my camera, I took some time, and had a little photo shooting adventure. These are the photos from that day.
That silver thing going across the middle of the photo is the footbridge over San Miguel Drive, connecting the upper and lower park areas. At the close end, it is all glass. From there you can look out over this park, the Civic Center and library, parts of Newport and Corona Del Mar, and the ocean.
