Highland Park

Though it suffers a reputation for being an industrial wasteland, Rochester is a beautiful city. One hundred years ago a Harvard landscape architect called it "A City in a Forest," and that moniker still holds true today with the city's abundance of parks and green spaces.

I was walking through the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Highland Park with my friend Julie one morning when I decided to experiment and get up close with these erect tulips.
