191 years ago Washington Irving camped on the bank of the Arkansas River south of what is now Tulsa. There is now a an eponymous park on the river commemorating his stop.
He was resting in the sun when we checked on him.
The nearby Harmony Bridge has lots of fun things including this musical instrument.
I played a tune, just for you. (Never had a lesson!!)
I am linking with Shadow Shot Sunday.
wonderful shadow shots ~ Washington Irving sculpture is fascinating ~
Interesting shadow and statue. I haven’t even explored Washington Irving in his native New York State (I grew up about 20 miles from Sleepy Hollow so shame on me) and it would truly be an adventure to find he has a small park in Oklahoma.
I haven’t heard of him but I’m going to have to google more about him.
Great photos! Now look what you’ve done, I haven’t read a book by him and now I want to.
You never had a lesson? You are a natural! Nice shadows. And a perfect person to represent shadowy figures. So, camp on a river bank and the town claims you as one of their own!
Your shadow shots are always amazing, Yogi!
Have a great week ahead!
Me gusta la estatua te mando un beso.
Wonderful art and musical instrument!
Lovely piece of music!
The statue I quite liked. So restful!
Harmony Bridge.. I like the sound of that.
Who could have imagined that Washington Irving was a camper! I suppose there were not a lot of motel choices back then though ;>).
I didn’t know Irving Washington had connection with Tulsa.
Coffee is on, and stay safe
Thank you, I want to know more of him now.
