Greenville Off Topic Photo Thread

[gs3]

Hey guys, what do you think about having a photo thread for off topic photos? The Greenville Daily Photo thread is great for showcasing Greenville, but what about those odd, one of kind Greenville shots that don't really showcase the city?

Here is one. From a couple of weeks ago flying kites with my neighbors kids. From the skys over Greenville on a beautiful clear day.........

[goodbye]

Cool shot, gsupstate! I love the comparison of kids flying kites to the pilots flying planes. Imagine the pilots of the future...

Great idea!

Here's my first contribution:

A rather common site on the lake at Furman University:

^ That new camera of yours is sharp! The beads of water even show up on their feathers!

Ever wonder what those towers atop Paris Mountain look like from close up?

Ever wonder what those towers atop Paris Mountain look like from close up?

Nice RT! Great Sky!

[RestedTraveler]

And just below those towers...

And just across the road...

There were also tags on the asphault on Tower Road itself and there was trash strewn all across the hillside.

[RestedTraveler]

Yes, it's true, folks. Greenville does have an underbelly.

gsupstate, I know you posted a photo of this bridge somewhere, but I can't find it.

This is a photo of the bridge at the River Falls Golf Course. It is an experiment in High Dynamic Range Imaging. I haven't sprung $110 for the software, thus the watermarks on the photo from the demo version. I like the effect though.

I swear, that HDR stuff and the tilt-shift stuff looks so surreal.

[NYTransplant]

I agree, when I first saw an HDR photo, I had to check it out. It's amazing how much control you have with a digital darkroom vs. a traditional one.

Red Tail Hawk soaring over Cleveland Park:

I went out riding yesterday morning and made my way down into Laurens County and saw this sight. This was so funny that I had to jump in the car and go back in the afternoon to take a picture of it. The cows look like they own the place.

Animal Farm!

[Greenville]

Are you sure that isn't a picture of downtown Greenville, NYT?

After all, it isn't nearly dense enough and is so rural! MOO!!

[NYTransplant]

Moo!!!

[RestedTraveler]

OK...is there a parking attendant here or is lot considered to be free parking? Moo!!!

(free ranging, maybe)
