THE Orlando Photo Thread

[JRS1]

great shots. it's definitely your Day with photos. get it?

55W. I think what probably should've been done would have been to raise the rooftop greenhouse structure at least 2 full stories and leave the sides of the building shorter, ie, jus raise the north structure and leave the E and W wings shorter. but the flat roof overhang kind of keeps this from being possible. they had the right idea with the 2-story exposed columns look on the south face, and the 4 stories of recessed walls at the top, but that shouldv'e been more floors, b/c those big windowless bands on the E and W sides absolutely suck. yo no get it... I can critique this puppy all day and at the same time, sing it's praises for what it does right.

The only thing missing from this picture is a tall slender building about 600 ft to ancore the skyline. A twin would be better. Work on it Dyer!!!

It would be nice if Tradition weren't a lost cause.

From the angle & distance in that photo, it looks sort of like two seperate buildings in an L shaped layout, with the one in the foreground having a funny roof "hat" thing, & the other one in the background, not.

I noticed (& noted) awhile back that the same thing was true when viewing it from ground level on Church St. The E & W wings look like two seperate towers next to each other.

This building seems to have a penchant for looking like two buildings from various angles.

Good thing too, because as one it's funky looking.

In that first picture, the reflection in Dynetech almost looks like you are looking through the building because the reflection is the same height as the horizon.

To many palm trees in the way. I was hoping to catch the right moment when the wind blew them out of the way.

Actually trees & palm fronds & the like are great devices for framing & composing a good shot.

I always try to get something like a tree branch hanging into a shot when I can.

I think you may have just been a bit too far from downtown which made the buildings look small so the foliage kinda took over.

But I think I get what you were going for.

Just want to throw this in the mix...Orlando sentinel credited

take Lynx Central. if this were in Miami, I think it would get higher acclaim. it looks cool, but b/c it's in Orlando, noone ever thinks twice about what "style" it hails from or what architectural identity its trying to be part of. I think that's the problem with Orlando architecture--- there's no set style-- unless the visors are the future. or maybe I'm just off my rocker.

I bet you two (this includes you Sunshine)would throw the biggest "hissy" fit ever if someone posted a picture of Hillary Clinton and then made a vibrator comment. Does being respectful of women and womens rights only pertain to "liberal" women? Your post are innappropiate to this forum.

Thank you for commenting. My thoughts exactly. Very crude.

I would support a no political posting ban 100%, but that would have to include avatars.

Miami has to many Cubans and so on who go on those buses.

When Lite Rail comes here Buses might be less used.

Crude to some, funny to others. Political to some, general conversation to others. Where do you draw the line?
