These benches in Green Hill park sit outside a pagoda overlooking Green Hill Pond.  There is unity and rhythm between the pattern of the bricks and the posts of the fences.  This is a popular sitting spot to watch boaters, or just to get a panoramic view of the pond.

Green Hill Park is nestled atop Downtown Worcester.  There is peace to the park in contrast to the loud city below.  There is line used in this photo to show the deep, jagged crack in the ice that stretches from one end of the pond to another.

The back side of the Hanover Theatre is decorated with a black and white mural using specific colors on the eyes and lips.  It is meant to depict a dramatic actress.  This tells the story if the talent that sits in this building, preparing for shows nightly.

This tree grate in Downtown Worcester has a pattern of shapes that highly contrast with the brick patterns of the sidewalks.  These grates hold the tree in place to avoid overgrowth and preserve the life of the tree from the elements of the concrete jungle.  There is a rough metal texture to these grates, indicating how old they are.

This mural is a vastly colorful new addition to Downtown Worcester.  It depicts the cultural diversity of the city and showcases color, line and shape.  A wide depth of field shows the contrast of the bright mural against the otherwise bland buildings.

Now used as an office building, Worcester's old Commerce high School showcases line, shape and balance in its architecture.  Each carving in the facade is symmetrical.

The Vietnam War Memorial has several pillars containing letters from soldiers that were sent home to their loved ones.  There is balance here as there are several more of these pillars set up in a Stonehenge type fashion.  The left two of these pillars rise out of the ice in the winter, or out of the water in the summertime.

One piece of the shoreline for Green Hill Pond.  It shows the gradient of texture from ice to water as the weather has warmed during the winter.  You also see balance of a steady row of light posts in the background.

A narrow depth of field focusing on the letter home from one soldier in particular, there is a somewhat dark tone from the content of the writing.  The texture of the carvings is seen on these large pillars.  This memorial is a time capsule of those soldiers who were overseas, preserved forever in stone.

Next to the Hanover Theatre, La Jolie Fleur flower shop is prepared for the holidays with decorative wreaths.  The store front is floor to ceiling glass panes with bold, clean lines.  The building lets in a lot of natural light that reflects off the store front.
