Southern Photos of the Day

[goodbye]

I was referring to the large building behind the Wyche Pavillion which, I assume, is the relatively new PCPA.

Thanks for info on the Wyche as well as the web site.

Sorry, that was my mistake. The building you were inquiring about is Peace Concert Hall, which is the largest of the Peace Center for the Performing Arts' indoor venues, as you assumed. It is really a World-class place, with very high quality accoustics. As you may have noticed, we are very proud of this particular cultural center, which is one of several in the city.

Nice pix, SBCmetroguy.

What is the building in the 3rd one from the top with fire escapes? I think it is also in shot

#5?

I just remembered this post, Burt. I found out a few days ago that this building you asked about was built as a Sears store. At 5 stories, it was the largest Sears store in Shreveport for years. Our current largest Sears store is 3 stories, which is still a very large store. I tend to prefer that one... they have everything!

Hre's the building again:

Thanks, SBC. I would have sworn it was a theatre.

Wonder why they bricked up the windows?

No idea. Maybe someone is using it as a warehouse now? They really ruined it. Looks like Sears invested some serious money into that store back in downtown's hayday. Afterall you're right, it looks like a theater! No modern-day Sears store is that fancy.

I am so excited that I have more to add from downtown Greenville:

Below is the first building in the RiverPlace development. In the bottom three levels you see High Cotton Maverick Bar & Grill, Greenville's latest fine dining experience. I applied special filter technique using Photoshop to achieve the "film noir" look you see.

Below is a photo from last October during the annual Fall For Greenville festival:

Not to get off topic just a little, but could you please post details on your camera, the lenses, and the exact settings you used for these two pics, please!

That is cool.. thanks for posting it! I thought I'd repost this one from last year. I'll be back in town this weekend, so hopefully I'll have more to share

Richmond City Hall

Artistically, that's one of your best photos, Coupe.

Tommy, I LOVE the night skyline view with Main Street Station illuminated in the foreground.

I haven't been around as I should, but I got a kick out of this pic and thought I'd share. R2D2 hanging around Fayetteville.

Oh....wow. What kind of camera do you have? That detailing is friggin' awesome.

[TBurban]

Haha, thanks. I actually was pretty shocked at how they came out..that little screen on the camera can be quite deceiving. I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S40, and honestly I didn't think the camera was capable of catching such detail. I'll have to experiment more with its settings tomorrow

[krazeeboi]

^Cool. Your camera is a step up from mine; I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-W17, but I still haven't mastered it (had it for about a year and a half), so it may surprise me in the future as well.

The "Tower of Miracles" in downtown Hickory, NC. I found it amusing that it's next to a wine shop with and outdoor seating area.....

[krazeeboi]

^Interesting...LOL.

A cluster of towers on Tryon Street in uptown Charlotte:

Those are nice shots, Krazee. I like your angle and composition on the State House grounds and the one of Charlotte is spectacular.

Thanks man; you really outdid yourself in Charleston.

In Church Hill this past weekend... The Sailors and Soldiers Monument is in the distance.

I hate how they butcher the trees for the power lines... Wish they could stash those lines underground... $$$ though.
