Southern Photos of the Day

[Mith242]

Yeah Nate, you can't just post a pic like that without any info. Come on.

Great photo, Nate! Im curious as to who that is a statue of?

I'm pretty sure it is a statue dedicated to all Spanish War Veterans, and I'm basing that off of the fact that a nearly identical statue is outside of Arlington National Cemetery, and I've seen them in a few other cities as well.

This is the statue outside of Arlington National Cemetery:

Also, I really like that shot, Tommy! It gives you a look at a pretty large variety of buildings and a nice cityscape.

Here's a shot looking down Loyola Avenue in downtown New Orleans:

I like urban statues, but that tower in the background....ugh. I saw some of the renderings for its redevelopment, and it can't happen soon enough.

You mean you don't like the world's tallest air traffic control tower?!?!?!

Thats an awesome shot, Greens!

Richmond, Virginia's tallest, the James Monroe Building at 29 floors

Till the Granby Tower and Westin top it off! LOL

You just wait till we find out the height of the new James Center Towers & Centennial! Though I have my doubts...

It will still be "Richmond, Virginia's tallest"

Haha, oh believe me, it's not exactly my favorite tower in the world either. The complete overhaul of that tower will begin soon, and it will become "Crescent City Towers".

Here is the rendering for the tower after the overhaul:

That's such a transition... I can't wait to see the overhaul completed.

Thanks for posting the rendering here, Nate.

Nice pics everyone!

[Mith242]

Nice pics everyone!

I concur. By the way nice to see you join in on the action skirby.

[Mith242]

Seeings Nate's picture of the stature reminded me a little of some I took earlier in the year. I finally came across them and thought I'd post them. These are from the Fayetteville Confederate Cemetery.

[dimebag1980]

^Wow, Rod, that's a gorgeous shot of Fayetteville, statue or not! And it really makes me yearn for October!!! Or Fall in general!!

Awesome photos, Rod! I remember seeing those a few months back, and I've always thought they were great.

Is that a ship near the reflection or an island Nate?

[TBurban]

Awesome shots, Nate and Mith!

Here's an old one from early summer, the Richmond Skyline from the Belle Island Pedestrian Bridge

That's a small barge headed downriver.

Great looking skyline shot, Tommy! You're an Emporis photographer, huh?

Main Street Station, Richmond, Virginia

Is this the beutiful building that happens to be a couple of feet away from the Interstate? I was coming from the Holocaust Museum when I saw this building, which I think this is it, and the great urban 17th Street Farmers Market.
