CITY DAILY PHOTO APRIL THEME - STRIPES

 

In Tower Grove Park, my favorite in St. Louis. It is laid out like an old-fashioned English walking park. There are many old, fancy pavilions available to rent. This one, called the Turkish Pavilion, is the largest.                 

IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS BUT THE TURKS

One more of the picnic sites in Tower Grove Park. It's a big one, known for some reason as the Turkish Pavilion. Looks like a big piece of peppermint candy to me but then what do I know. More to the point (for me), it makes me think of a certain song.   

That's the last of the Tower Grove pix. I got some good stuff downtown a few days ago. There are also some interesting street events this Saturday and Sunday so I'll be re-stocked for a while.            

TURKISH PAVILION

My favorite local park, Tower Grove, has many so-called pavilions, open-sided structures that families and groups can rent for events. They have exotic designs and whimsical names. This one, the largest, is known as the Turkish Pavilion. No parties on a gray, snowy day.            

TURKISH PAVILION

I've mentioned that Tower Grove Park is my favorite in the area. It is quieter and more elegant than the big one, Forest Park. One unusual feature is that it has a dozen unique pavilions that people can reserve at no charge. It's common to see big family groups there in the warmer months (except this year).  https://www.towergrovepark.org/pavilionspicnic1 

There was gorgeous late afternoon light on Sunday so I went poking around with my camera. This is the Turkish Pavilion, the largest and most ornate of the group.  You could have quite a party in there.
