I love it, Nate, thanks for sharing!

As always nice shot Nate.

Okay I figured I'd stop being so lazy and dig out some of my older pics and post something. I wanted to do something a little different though. I don't think I've posted anything over here of Pine Bluff. I took this latel last year. I hadn't thought about it but I wonder if this would have looked better in B&W.

Thanks guys, and you've got yourself a great picture there too, Rod!

Some of New Orleans' downtown density:

Hope you guys don't mind the abundance of New Orleans photos.

[richyb83]

I already posted this pic in Louisiana forum. I like the density. Not many cities are as dense as New Orleans. The photo being black & white is cool too.

The sunrise his morning over Lake Palestine on the Smith County-Henderson County Line in East Texas:

This building in Downtown Greenville, SC's Historic West End district is a great example of adaptive reuse. Today it serves as office space and a rock climbing place.

Wow! So many great photos, I don't know where to begin handing out awards! NCB, that "Old to New" shot is probably one of the best urban photographs on this forum. RT, your sunrise shot is as near perfection as any photo could ever be. I feel as though I am standing there peacefully all alone and without a care in the World.

Finally another contribution from me. This is part of Piazza Bergamo in downtown Greenville:

That French Quarter shot is awesome.

Here's a shot of the Arsenal Hill neighborhood in downtown Columbia:

And here's one of my favorite houses in the neighborhood (sorry about the brightness; I'm working on enhancing my photography skills):

[goodbye]

Nice homes, Krazeeboi. I rather like the "brightness" effect of your shot.

Here is a photo from the Cancer Survivors' Park, in downtown Greenville. It will soon experience a major renovation which will make it larger and more beautiful than ever.

Thanks, Skyliner. It's a rather beautiful neighborhood.

The Cancer Survivors Park is going to look awesome once renovated.

[goodbye]

You have got that right. It will be a seamless extention of Falls Park on the Reedy, providing even more great urban park space in downtown Greenville. Can't wait to see the completion of this project, and then eventually the new 260-acre park further upstream, which will add to the miles of continuous paths along the river.

[Mith242]

Wow! So many great photos, I don't know where to begin handing out awards!

Yeah I know what you mean. The pics just keep coming. It's hard to try to comment on everyone pics individually.

[NCB]

Great photos, everyone! I really don't know where to start either, but seriously, great stuff guys!

Here's one of my more popular photos of the Saint Louis Cathedral in New Orleans:

^Now that's a great shot NCB. Well done.

[goodbye]

Now I can finally see the resemblance to Disney's castle. Great shot, NCB!

[NCB]

Thanks again guys!

Skyliner, I've been hearing about the resemblence between Saint Louis Cathedral and Cinderella Castle more recently than ever before. I grew up only a couple of blocks from Saint Louis Cathedral, and I practically owned Jackson Square as a kid, but it took me many many years to figure out what everyone was talking about with that resemblence thing.

[dimebag1980]

Isn't that the best photo of the Cathedral ever? Seriously, Nate, of all your pics this is my favorite simply because it looks as if this place was built just yesterday. It makes the building look flawless, and yet it's an untouched photo.

[richyb83]

Great photo Nate. The Cathedral looks brand new. Great time of day to take that too, I like the sun angle.

BTW Krazeeboi. I really like your pic of the three story mansion with the palm trees.

^Awesome, Richy, I'm glad you posted that here. Baton Rouge was sorely lacking representation in this thread, but you've done it well with this photo!

[krazeeboi]

Thanks richyb83. The Louisiana Capitol is certainly distinguishable.

A unique piece of art on Main Street in Columbia:

It was Independence Day, so that would explain the lack of pedestrians.
