Greenville Photo of the Day

[gs3]

Great photo NYT! I like the symmetry of the lighting in the windows...all three uppers lit, all three lowers dark.

[GvilleSC]

Great Shot indeed! I LOVE that building. I'm glad it's still around and in use!

[RestedTraveler]

That is some beautiful, warm, glowing lighting outside and inside! It feels like summertime even though it was taken in the dead of winter. Nice job, NYT!

[NYTransplant]

Thanks guys.

RT, I can attest to the fact that it was the dead of winter. My hands were numb after about ten minutes.

Nice shot again! I like how the sky and grass display Greenville's colors

[NYTransplant]

Thanks,

I didn't notice the colors GvilleSC, Nice call.

[RestedTraveler]

Gorgeous!

Nice catch and very intersting coincidence. Is it a coincidence? Hmm.....NYT's capture may be some evidence to conspiracy.

Guys, these are absolutely FANTASTIC photos of Greenville! Thank you for posting them!

[RestedTraveler]

I love how the water looks in that photo! Have you ever seen the book, "The Waterfalls of South Carolina," by Benjamin Brooks and Tim Cook? This photo is right up there with any photo in that book!

[NYTransplant]

Thanks guys.

RT, I have that book.

Nice one RT. I believe this is the Wachovia Securities building's Photo of the Day debut.

Also, if you recall when gsupstate asked about the history of the Rock's & Ropes buiding, we found it was once the home of Carolina Supply. That company is still around 100 years later. The black sign in the photo at the rear of the building is their shingle.

This is a beautiful building that doesn't get much attention due to it's "off the beaten path" location. Harper Corporation's offices are in this building, too, I believe. I love the attentiton to detail that was given to the masonry work. This is yet another beautiful old building downtown that we can be very proud of.

That's interesting about Carolina Supply. I do remember when he asked about the Rocks & Ropes building and when you found out the history through some diligent research and shared it with us. I hadn't even noticed that shingle until now, though. Very cool!

This is a variation on a theme from Darw10 back around October.

I LOVE this photo, NYT! Great capture of a great place after dark. The lights all around Court Square are simply spledid.

[RestedTraveler]

Beautiful!

[gs3]

Great photo! You guys shoot some incredible night shots!

[NYTransplant]

Thanks

Could not resist posting this,(maybe I should have resisted more?) the home of one of the most important Greenvillians.

Nice one TREY!

If you think about it, JDH had quite the setup. Nice quiet place on the lake with nobody to bother him. Other than the noise from I-85, this could have been mistaken for a place up in the mountains.

[TREY]

It is a strange to see this in the middle of millennium park. I wonder what the long term plans are for the JDH Homestead? Will this become a historic site? I can imagine the story now- JDH lived in a mobile home, shopped at the Piggly Wiggly and had lunch at Hot dog King every day, to save his money for the good of the people of his beloved hometown of Greenville! Long live JDH ! Could be a TNT movie of the week.

^ Isn't his homestead suppose to become some kind of memorial? I think btoy, or someone posted on the site about this.
