On our way home from Nantucket, we spent a day in Providence, Rhode Island. It had been nearly 40 years since we’d last been there, and we knew a lot had changed. We had a wonderful day, shopping on Hope Street, browsing on Thayer Street (the Brown University College Town), and spent two hours at the lovely Rhode Island School of Design Museum. It has a large permanent collection spanning from antiquity to contemporary art, and we enjoyed it all. As we walked from gallery to gallery, I was taken with the variety of staircases, and took photos of many of them with a SNAP collection in mind.
Here are a couple more shots from Providence.
They’ve done a beautiful job of restoring the waterfront. I’d love to return some day to see the Waterfire display. Sadly, it wasn’t scheduled for the Saturday evening we were there.
Here you can see the braziers along each side of the river which are lit during Waterfire.
This is the view of downtown Providence from Prospect Terrace Park.
Providence is the capital of Rhode Island, and although I had another closer photo of the capital building, I preferred this view.
Linking up with Helena and other SNAP enthusiasts.
Those stairs make for an interesting SNAP collection. I often stop at the landing or top of the stairways just to look for/at a possible pattern.
One of my (many) older sisters lived in Rhode Island for a few years – she really liked it.
What a beautiful collection of images!
Gorgeous photos Karen and love the lines in your SNAP!
I’d love to visit that museum – what fun to have a variety of stair tyeps – soemthing it is so easy to take for granted rather than admire their engineering and design
It’s been over thirty years since I was first there. Wow..your photos are beautiful.
what a great idea for a snap…beautiful!
Lovely staircases – I always try to remember to look up or down the centre of a particularly interesting flight. Spirals especially can reveal such interesting patterns.
Great last photo of the capital building.
Fabulous pictures as always Karen. I really love the stairs idea. I follow someone on Instagram who post lots of ‘stair’ pictures. Thank you also for thinking of me and taking the time to post me one of your very beautiful cards. I do so appreciate your friendship Karen x
I adore the wrought iron railings in the last staircase photo. You’ve had such great snap collections this year!
Oh I like those stairwells. Lovely views of the capital building too. I like looking at other people’s travel photos, gives me more places to want to visit.
Great scenes that you found! This type of display take my interests, especially the ‘old’ stuff.
Your photos are awesome. It’s good to know the waterfront is cared for so well. The shot of the capitol is wonderful!
Fantastic photos! I always enjoy photos of stairs!
That’s a great collection and an super architectural choice.
