Description
Balboa Pavilion - Original photographic artwork by Heidi Smith.
Newport Beach�s most famous landmark, the historic Balboa Pavilion, is one of California's last surviving examples of the great waterfront recreational pavilions from the turn of the century.
Established 100 years ago in 1906 by the Newport Bay Investment Company, the Pavilion played a prominent role in the development of Newport Beach as a seaside recreation area.
In 1906, it became the southern terminus for the Pacific Electric Railway connecting the beach with downtown Los Angeles.
The Pavilion has since then housed approximately twenty-eight types of activities. Notable examples include a post office, art museum, bowling alley, gambling establishment, speed boat rides and a host of other marine recreational activities.

This wonderful capture I feel has a much more subdued mood than would have been possible in color. I also like the human presence which makes a significant difference. Great work, Heidi! L/F FB

Wow! This is so clear, It seems that I am standing right where you were! I love the lighting and the mood is very cool with few people around...quiet and the feel of very late at night~maybe closing time! . . ?. . . . fav/v13
Heidi Smith replied:
Yes, Karen, it was late... near closing. Very few people around, quite, and a little breezy. :) Thank you so much for your continued support.
