THE Orlando Photo Thread

That angle really distorts the distance.  The VUE looks right next to 55W, but yet 5 times the distance to courthouse when it really is only one and a half blocks away.

I ran through Parramore today and they have Church Street ripped up for improvements.  Here is a photo of the Bridge between both sides of Heritage Park

I also ran over to Lake Davis and Summerlin is tore up for sewer work and brick work.  The asphalt has been removed over the bricks from Lake Davis to Briercliff.

And look at 55 West to SunTrust.

Thanks for the photo of the Heritage Park bridge.  I like the classic treatment; Orlando could use more of it (in more visible locations).

This is great on many levels

Yes, a great improvement to that corner, but I wish there was a bit more color-- there is too much grey concrete between the sidewalks and building.  At least the awnings are blue.   I do like the pet park area for the residents on the other side of the parking garage area, but I can only imagine how many will still bring their pets to relieve themselves in this area instead.

Nice to see Orlando pay homage to Kevin Tyjeski's city planning legacy by naming this new park in his honor.  He really helped to shape "modern" Orlando, pushing along beautification efforts and urban planning principles.

Orlando Health Tower (facing South)

Anyone going to see the tower of light being lit up at 6:00pm tonight. Would be great to get some shots

The Asparagus shines again! The LED's look great. And I didn't loop around DPAC to get a better shot. Grrrr, on me. :-)

I noticed that, too. And I don't know why. Maybe it just wasn't lit that evening, or maybe there's not light in that particular section?

Prettiest building

 

 

Downtown needs building like this...

[JFW657]

Too bad Winnie Palmer isn't more high profile & closer to Orange Avenue.

 

All the cool looking buildings in that area are set so far back off of Orange Ave they are barely visible.

[smileguy]

Even better - Winnie Palmer between Pine and Washington at I-4.

Merry Christmas, sunshine, and happy holidays to all the Orlando posters - I learn so much from all of you. It's amazing to think of all the new projects coming online in 2014!
