Fellowman, I'm just loving your photography style. You capture the city well. I really like the ones at the fair and the ones out by Shelby Farms. I've also wondered what "Orange Mound Tower" was. I thought it was the office of an old Railroad HQ since its right next to a huge rail yard. Is it listed on emporis? How come this thread isn't a sticky yet? RK where are you? lol

[otacon]

I drove downtown early this morning to get a few pictures. Heres the good ones.

[DoctorGonzo]

I'm loving all of these photos! Thanks for taking the time to post them!

Anyone have any shots of South Front around the Gus' area? I haven't been around there since they started clearing the block out for new condo buildings.

Wonderful shots! I really Peabody Place. It's a great retail / entertainment area which few cities the size of Memphis have. It must have been quite early when you shot them. There doesn't seem to be a soul around anywhere.

Walking around Downtown early on a Sunday morning in Spring is something everyone should try.

Thanks. Yeah it was pretty empty around 7 when i got there...i could even setup the camera in the middle of the street.

Yeah, I have no idea what its about, and I don't think it is listed on emporis.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

otacon: Very nice shots. The pano is great.

This is a really great thread and I have really enjoyed looking at some great shots of the city. Everybody keep up the great work.

[otacon]

Heres a pano of the city from across the river. It took me forever to find the roads to get to this place! It was worth it though.

Can you take a better picture then that?

[Rural King]

That night shot is spectacular. The lighting and refletions in that pic is great and I dont think one could do much better than that.

Sweet shot. We need to work 1beale into that.

absolutely amazing

That has gotta be one of the best (if not the best) Memphis skyline shots ever!!! What is the white building between the Federal Building and Marriot? Is that the addition to the Convention Center?
