Old Bull Creek Photo: Where Was It Taken?

"Sense of Place". That idea that certain places have an identity; a character felt by those that live and visit those places. Bull Creek and it's associated valley have such a sense of place.

I love this photo of Bull Creek from "back in the day". That's a Model-T or Model-A there on the road; the photo is dated ca. 1920. So I wondered: Where is this exactly? Today I found out. It's near Bull Creek District Park. That road in the distance is Lakewood Drive. The falls you see are are the ones on the west side of Lakewood Drive by the entrance to Bull Creek District Park, 6701 Lakewood Dr (lat/long 30.366005,-97.787834). Bottom is a photo of what it looks like today.
