Statement

"Scenes from a Park," is a collection of video shots from Louisiana Oaks Park, which is behind my home in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. With music and landscape scenes, the video shows the relaxing beauty of a wooded park. See trees, rain, flowers, birds, and architecture. The fish pond with aquatic plants and comets, or gold fish, is on my patio in the summer, overlooking the park.

In the 20th century the park was a pollution disaster site, the abandoned home of a chemical plant. Telephone poles, brought there to soak in creosote, covered the landscape. Recovering the area was expensive. By the 1990's, scientists placed rods into the ground behind a high wooden fence to test the ground water.

I shot the video with a DV Minicam on a spring weekend, and I edited the video at the Edina Art Center with Roxio Media Creator. I rendered the web file with Real Producer. Use high speed internet to see the video at this url:
