Eagle Creek Park
With 3900 acres of land, 1400 acres of water, and 10 miles of paths, Eagle Creek is one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. Best of all, it’s picturesque during any season.
#thatgoldbuilding
Market Square Center, commonly called “that Gold Building,” is endlessly picturesque. Don a pair of shades when shooting this shiny façade, though—it especially reflects the sun!
Good morning, Indy. Today it's #thatgoldbuilding and watercolor skies. #igersindy
