Southern Photos of the Day

[nowensone]

Not strictly Southern in nature, but these are pics of an old manure spreader my grandmother had refurbished:

And playing around with the camera (my favorite color is purple in case it's not too obvious), despite the cold-snap spring is clearly here:

^Talk about vintage, LOL. Nice shots nowensone.

Some shots of Three Wachovia in uptown Charlotte:

Nice photos, Krazee! I really have to spend more time in Charlotte sometime soon. I spent about 30 minutes Uptown last summer, and that's about it.

Three Lakeway Center in Metairie, Louisiana; a suburb of New Orleans with a population of about 150,000. At 403 feet, it is the tallest building in Louisiana outside of New Orleans and Baton Rouge:

Thanks! Where will you be in the city? Or is your group going to be moving around? Wherever you go, you'll be seeing some sad stuff, shocking stuff if you haven't been here since Katrina. But, the city is coming back, and at a higher rate of speed than ever right now.

We'll just be at one location working. I know the site extremely well because we've been designing it in my architecture class here at Clemson, I just don't know the context (neighborhood). I have not been down, but I can't wait to get the opportunity to see it first hand.

You know, there's something I've always like about this shot. I took it about a year ago.

Crossing the Street in Atlanta

Interesting, to say the least, IC! I love the sense of motion in the shot.

A break in the traffic on Poydras Street in downtown New Orleans:

Interesting, to say the least, IC! I love the sense of motion in the shot.

Yes, well it's not the neatest shot out there, but I always enjoyed its messiness--thought it added something to the picture, believe it or not.

^INdeed. This is some thread you have created. Congrats!

Let's try another shot of Atlanta here......

Atlanta's Midtown Skyline on a Cloudy Night

The clouds aren't very visible here, but they are in the other pics I took.

Thanks, fellas! It'd be nothing without everyone's awesome photos

Wachovia Main at the corner of Tryon and 3rd in uptown Charlotte:

[ironchapman]

Here's another one taken on the same night as the last one I posted. The fog had just begun descending on Midtown, which may explain why it looks a little out of focus at first.

Fog Descends on Midtown

I'm liking your Atlanta shots, IC.

The infamous "Busted Plug" statue/fountain in downtown Columbia:

[burt]

Hahaha. That fire hydrant is the weirdest piece of art I've seen since the famous Clothes Pin decorated a driveway off Monument Avenue in Richmond.

Settler's Cemetary, uptown Charlotte:

[NCB]

I really like the third shot, Krazee! Nice job, man!

The facade of the Louisiana Supreme Court in New Orleans' French Quarter:

^Thanks!

Another Shot of the Fog Descending Upon Midtown Atlanta

Birmingham's CBD

[convulso]

thanks for the bham shot, blazer. the tall buildings in bham aren't tall, but the perspective in that photo really shortens them. the alabama power building on the left looks as tall as the 'big four,' one of which (amsouth/regions) looks much, much shorter. weird.

it's hard to get good close-up vantages of the tall buildings downtown that emphasize their height (such as it is) - i've tried.

keep a'posting!

Miami. Old against new in downtown. Looking south from Biscayne Blvd.

[NCB]

Great angle, gsupstate! Love the transition seen in that photo.

Downtown New Orleans, one of the densest CBD's in the nation:

Walking down Franklin St. in Chapel Hill.........

Downtown Thomasville,NC

[krazeeboi]

Doesn't Thomasville have a big rocking chair or something downtown? And are the buildings downtown still lit up like it's Christmas? LOL
