Picture of the Day in Northwest Arkansas

[mcheiss]

Is that street lit up Dixon?

Is that street lit up Dixon?

No this is more south. It's more around 6th St/Hwy 62. It's looking to the southeast. It's one of the few views I can get through much of the trees. There's also just a little bit of a clearance through the trees that I can get a shot of the north part of campus.

[Mith242]

Here's a shot more over towards Dickson St. That church in the foreground is on Dickson. You can also make out the crane near Dickson. Then of course there's Old Main further back.

Beautiful Shot Mith.

Fayetteville and Dixon are so well lit up.

Here's a shot of the new Bentonville Lowe's that caught Fire yesterday. It caused a bit of damage to the roof, but I think it's back up and running.

How did Lowes catch fire? I didn't watch the news yesterday.

[Mith242]

From what I heard it's was an electrical problem and it caused some of the insulation to catch on fire. I think that I heard with the way itwas built it helped save much of the building. Of course I guess you could argue the way it was built also caused this problem since it's so new. Good to hear it didn't do too much damage though.

[Mith242]

Here's yet another non urban pic. Guess I need to start taking a few of those again so I can get a better mix. Anyway here's a sunset pic from Mt Sequoyah. If you look closely on the righthand side you can barely make out Hwy 62. Nice colors in this one. I finally got a chance at a nice sunset for a change.

Something with an electrical screw that spread to the roof and caused some minor damage. The building was closed for the day but it's back up and running now.

[Mith242]

Here's a pic of Fayetteville on fire.

Okay it's actually just an overexposed pic.

[Mith242]

Okay back to a more serious pic, here's a night shot on an angle I've posted before. In the center and the right is 6th St and the upper middle is Hwy 62 going southwest out to Famington and Prarie Grove.

^Great shots, Rod!

I really like the first one.

[masons_dad1]

Nice Shots! I really like night shots as it seems to make the area seem more urban than in the daytime.

[Mith242]

Yeah they do tend to give a more urban feel. Maybe one of these days I'll have to see if I can think of some good places in Rogers to take some night shots.

[mcheiss]

Nice to the Sprawl out and about in Fayetteville.

Great Shot Mith!!

[Mith242]

Okay one more sunset pic before I try to move on to some other types of pics.

That would make a great poster for the Northwest Arkansas Council. Could add some inspirational text to the upper portion. Perfect!

Thanks, I hadn't thought about it like that.

[mcheiss]

Or it could be a great shot for the newspaper.

[Mith242]

Or it could be a great shot for the newspaper.

I wonder how much news photographers get paid.

[mcheiss]

You should look into something like that.

Your shots are extremly amazing, you should consider watermarking some of them.

[Mith242]

Yeah I probably should, although I hate to have to resort to that. Anyway here's another night shot of the parking deck on campus.

[mcheiss]

Beautiful Shot!!!

I didn't realize they lit it up that much.

[Mith242]

Thanks. Well they do light up the staircase but it's not as much as it looks. I had the camera on a tripod and kept the shutter open longer to let more light in. So if you happen do br driving by it at night don't expect any bright glaring lights shining in your eyes.

Great shot Mith! Very modern looking. BTW, does the parking deck have an elevator? Or do you pay $1.10 an hour to walk up and down 9 flights of stairs?

No there are elevators, I believe four, one at each corner. Although I try to take the stairs and give myself the extra exercise.
