Thanks for that interesting history! ... I guess this time my eyes
didn't deceive me I could see the roundness..

Thanks, Ann!
The last shot is of “The Bowl” in Clark Park. To make a long and complicated
history short, Mill Creek used to flow through it on its way to the Schuylkill
River, about a half-mile farther along. There were docks where barges were
unloaded, and during the Civil War wounded soldiers were also brought here by
barge, as the Satterlee Hospital was about 100 yards to the north.
Generations of city employees have tried to get grass to grow in The Bowl, but
it is lousy clay soil and is heavily used so all efforts have failed except on
the slopes. The Bowl is used for dogs, sledding (when there is snow—not this
winter!), a youth soccer league, and plays and concerts in the summer.

particularly like the daffies, the chairs and table but most of all the shadow
of the large tree with the nicely placed people and robin..
also might be interesting to kwo who much the tree whe it is fully keaved in
summer contributes to the lack of grass in the area that
encircles the shadow of the branches..or is that a cleared place for play? a
dried up shallow pond? anyway, verintersting
geomery.
