Great shot krazee. I like the lighting there.

Thanks.

Here's today's contribution:

Anybody else see potential here?

That is so gorgeous! Just across the street from there the city has taken out all the pear trees that were lined up in front of the South Carolina Supreme Court building, so now we have more columns readily visible within that block.

Corgi, does it really look better sans the pear trees? Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not in your post above. I hate when any tree is taken down, but I do seem to recall that those pear trees were cluttering up the view of the Supreme Court building.

Wow! Fantastic image!

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Their life span was over. I have thought for a long time that they should replace each pear tree with a palmetto tree along there. But just the exposure of the columns looks better than the pears. Thank goodness the city no longer plants pears.

[krazeeboi]

Thanks. It's a pretty rare view, that's for sure.

Exciting perspective and contrast of Columbia...

[krazeeboi]

These two came from the photo gallery on the Hilton's website. It makes you appreciate the Lincoln Street streetscaping even more:

Its going to look much better in 20 years when those trees are huge.

I'm going to have to say they did a great job on Lincoln Street and the convention center. It really does look noce.

Yeah, that's going to make for one awesome canopy.

How about a Photo of the "Yesterday"? Does anybody recognize this intersection? The photo was taken in 1986 - yep, 22 years ago.

[sonofaque86]

Wow. That photo was taking the year I was born my lifetime ago..ummm I have no idea where that is

[BrasilnSC]

I believe that's Harbison Blvd (the walking path and pond gave it away)......before it became a traffic nightmare. Wow, no cars.

Correct - here is what is there now.

[sonofaque86]

Wow I didn't realize those apartments back there were that old.
