Description
Colorized photo from 1901
Original title: The Reservoir, Eden Park
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: Eden Park, Cincinnati, OH
Considering it is just a reservoir it looks pretty majestic. I don't think it was necessary to make it like this, unless it was designed to be a tourist attraction as well. They used this reservoir from 1866 till 1963, before moving it underground, where Mirror Lake is. You can see where this was by going to Eden park, they left a good chunk of the wall. Only I think they used the back fill because the original wall was much taller.
In another picture there was a greenhouse on the left, that's why those beds are there.
The original image had some major light issues in the corner, almost like a local lightning even. It had to be rebuilt, there was no saving that spot through exposure adjustment.
I think the season is late summer, but I tinted the trees to add more depth, and it doesn't really matter when this was shot.
If you look very carefully, there are painters making the railing white... which was super annoying because I had to adjust it so I could paint the pink parts while mostly saving the white parts. Where as if it was all black, I could have just colored it without an issue.
