Likewise. 2300 Berry Hill has really popped up in a hurry. I'm still not totally clear on what the Melrose Lanes project will look like.

 

Also...if you find the shot I took with Union Station in it, click on it and beyond the Gulch cranes, you can faintly see the Belmont cranes (it was much more noticeable in person)...they have, what, 5 cranes up there?

[dmillsphoto]

Yeah, 5 cranes there. Definitely can be seen from most sides of town.

What kind of camera/filter/processing are you using, UTgrad?  That's the good kind of surreal.

Interestingly enough, just a camera phone (Droid Razr) and straight to Facebook. I have other pics on here that are from a real camera...but most of the time I don't like to lug it around.

I tried some zoom photos up there, but they didn't turn out well.

As for surreal...not sure how they got that way. Some of the pics were in some pretty intense sunlight (about 4pm sun)...the pics at the beginning had some nice cloud cover (nature at work).

Don't believe him. It's one of these http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Filter-CANON-Rebel-1100D/dp/B004MDJ3K4/ref=pd_sim_p_2

Was there a group tour of that building for a specific business or organization? One of my friends from college posted a pic from that same building a day or two ago. I think I see him in a picture also.

It was the Young Urbanists group, and yes, a tour. It was yesterday afternoon.

Wow.  I was sure those pictures had some kind of processed effect.  In any case, very cool.

[dmillsphoto]

A few more... cell phone pics as I ended up leaving my pro camera battery at home. Oops. All taken while driving.

I love the views from the Westview on 8th! Another good place to take pictures is from the rooftop pool area of the Downtown Y.

So I saw this on the Twitter page. Is this really what it looks like? Not to be harsh, but it looks like someone just haphazardly put Christmas lights up

That looks...bizarre...maybe it was really windy or something? 

[MLBrumby]

Yep... I think that 5th Avenue lightscape will be the emperor's "new clothes".  Groupthink can be very expensive.

[UTgrad09]

I think it was windy...but since there is wind and rain downtown....on a regular basis, they should've definitely accounted for that before they put them up.

 

I think what they need is a guide wire in the middle or close to the bottom that keeps them straight. 

[bigeasy]

I guess I need to just go down and see them in person. Pics can always make things look better/worse than they truly are.

[Neigeville2]

They move.  I don't see this as a problem, I think they look great.

[NashRugger]

Those strands just need a light counterweight to balance those and make them less susceptible to being flipped, granted over 30mph all bets are off.

Malibu Homes on Nevada Heights

 

We've all seen the so called 'Malibu Homes' on Nevada Heights from I-440 Parkway. They are called that because of the comparison to houses along Malibu Beach north of Los Angeles which feature long contemporary architecture and narrow footprints with exceptional views of the beach. In Nashville's case, the views are of the Nashville skyline from the hills.

 

Nevada Heights

 

 

The views - Downtown

 

 

Mid Town

 

 

Some of the houses;

 

 

 

My favorite - The Grassy Knoll.

 

 

The view at night must be incredible. There are other hills where you see some of these 'skyline houses' under development, also.

You get the same thing when looking at the Regions Tower and The Bellsouth.

Sorry for the fuzzy quality. It was a little hazy/overcast today.
