It's a "found photo" which means I didn't take it. However, I passed along your question on flickr and will respond if/when I receive an answer from Mark.

I'm guessing it was taken by a drone.

It looks to have been taken right by Rte 195 close to where it meets Rte 95. Rte 195 is elevated there so I would think it may possibly have been taken from the highway.

I seriously doubt that. The angle/point of view is completely wrong to have been taken from the highway. There is an observation deck located @ Collier Point Park off of Allens Avenue, where possibly this picture was taken. But I'm sticking to my drone theory.

Mark replied that it was taken by a drone launched from Collier Park on the waterfront just south east of the junction of Routes 195 and 95.

The District Park Pavilion by the pedestrian bridge is gearing up for a May opening. Will house the Guild Brewery (which had run the outdoor beer garden at the park) and a Seven Stars bakery and coffee operation.

The pavilion which had a ribbon cutting in April and was supposed to open sometime in May is still not operational. Its original completion target in the fall of 2025 had already been earlier missed. It is looking like it will not be open for all the World Cup visitors descending on the city starting next week. Thousands of Scotland fans are staying in Providence for their two games to be played in Foxboro. The Scottish booster club organization Tartan Army is even hosting an event in the park on June 18th which will include a 1.5 mile parade march through the downtown that starts and ends there. Their base site camp for their stay is at the G Pub just a short walk away. It is really inexcusable that this might not be soon open for the influx of visitors.

What surprises me is that The Guild doesn't have their temporary beer garden setup in place, like they have had for years, while waiting on the Pavilion. Maybe they were offered the opportunity to do that and declined, but these warm weather months are few and far between and it's critical revenue for them. So I'd be surprised if it was an issue of The Guild declining the opportunity. Especially with so many World Cup guests descending on the city.
