Downtown Hood River
|
Amid
the surf shops, galleries and boutiques that now dominate the
historic downtown of Hood River are a number of outstanding retrofits
to the streetscape. These simple acorn-style globes on deep blue
standards are carefully in scale with the downtown architecture.
The decorative banners pay homage to the famed wind surfing,
fruit orchards and fishing that continue to bring the world to
Hood River. The lower image shows an outstanding memorial plaze
constructed into the steep hillside that abuts downtown. |
