Thanks

Great pictures djh! I especially like the one of the Dupree House. Its very fitting that its next to a cemetary seeing as how the house is just rotting away.

It would be cool/fun to document all of Spartanburg's old buildings, large and small, that are not currently being used at all, or to their fullest extent.

Nice pictures. Didn't know there was a cemetary in front of the Dupree house.

That cemetary is one of the oldest in town, and also one of the only ones that has street frontage on a semi important road. Its called the Magnolia Street cemetary. I've always thought it was interesting how Spartanburg has managed to hide its cemetaries. I don't think it was on purpose, but it just worked out that way. One of the more important ones is the Oakwood Cemetary in the back of the North Converse Heights neighborhood. You have to want to find that one though.

I was taking pictures of the train station a couple of weeks ago hoping to catch a train go by.  I was going to slow the shutter speed to have a time-elapse effect and everything.  I got tired of waiting and left.  As I pulled up to the stoplight just outside the station, I heard the train coming.  

There's always next time.  ;-)

Awesome! I particularly like the last two.

[alias007]

The last 2 are my fav's as well.  djh, do you have higher resolution photos for those last 2?  That would make for an excellent wallpaper.

Here's a shot of Downtown sorta overlooking Magnolia Street.  I love the new upgraded site!  I haven't looked around too much, but I like what I see so far.  



Higher rez photos available here.

Here's a widescreen shot of the train at Beaumont Avenue (northbound) and Isom Street.  The train was stationary at the time.  I don't know why, I just like these old train overpasses.  ;-)

Great shots, Spartan.

I've been saving this one for a while. This is not really IN Spartanburg anymore... its in the Museum of Natural History in our nation's capital.

That's pretty sweet! Nice exposure.
