Evolution of a new, improved Jefferson Park
Willie Weir writes to the beaconhill list:
Hey neighbors,
I have periodically taken photos of the work on the reservoir in Jefferson Park. I’ve lived here long enough to remember the space surrounded by barbed wire. I know there are people on this list who still haven’t seen the view from this vantage point. On a clear day this winter, walk past the community and up toward the lawn bowling club. You won’t be disappointed!
Willie recommends that you choose the high-definition and full-screen options to view it in its full detail:

There are also a couple of photos of the area from a year or so ago in the Beacon Hill Blog photo pool on Flickr.
Thanks for the awesome photos and video, Willie!
