Clark Tower
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 13 October 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
An interesting, and unexpected, find in the Winterset City Park was this tower dedicated to one of the county's first pioneer families, Caleb and Ruth Clark. It was built in 1926.
Part of the Bridges of Madison County series.

Is this a stair surrounding the tower ? I like a lot the sensation it is like a lil'sister stuck against the big one.
Love the tones, of course ! ;/

@k@: Yes, there is a staircase. You can climb to the top of the tower.

An interesting choice of structure to build for a dedication. But you captured and framed it nicely. Processing in B&W brings out the detail in the stone and lines created by the mortar.

a picturesque tower with lots of style. I like the deeper treatment whose somber tones seem to fit the construction. Nice shooting.
