At Columbia Canal and Riverfront Park, a boardwalk along the canal passes the old waterworks machinery and overlooks the rapids in the Congaree River.

This view is from the park’s entrance looking toward West Columbia. A high vantage point is rare around Columbia except along the rivers, so I took advantage of being able to see the canal, the river, and the distant trees.

I enhanced the colors of the building and boardwalk to contrast with the green of the trees and to emphasize the juxtaposition of the man-made structures with the natural forms.
