Pics of Jacksonville

[asonj23]

I'm very excited to see the Gulf Life building finally being challenged in height on the south bank!!

Thanks for the photo Newzgrrl.

Looking at this photo showing the Strand up next to the Gulf Life/SouthTrust/Riverplace Bldg, I wouldnt be surprised to see the Peninsula be the new tallest on the Southbank.

^I think it will be, unless this Riverpointe thing is taller....

Here are a few pictures taken from the river last fall. It was a really bad day to be out on the water, but duty calls. I was using a 35mm camera and I had a hard time keeping the lens dry.

Skyline from Metro Park Marina

Landing and Modis et al from Water

^ Great Pictures, all from angles that ive never seen before. I especially like the one from metro park marina.

Anyone else notice how dead the landing is? Im realy hoping that was on a sunday morning before it opened...

As a former "Jax" resident I am very proud of the city's development as a major player in Florida and the southeast. The Super Bowl and these photos attest to that. As a regular visitor to Jacksonville, I am always amazed at the bustling nature of this vast city. l

I also forgot to mention Beach Road Chicken Dinners, aka "The Chicken House" on Atlantic Blvd.

I took those pictures from a boat on a really miserable day in late September. It was the first nor'easter of the fall. I think that only the ducks were out at the landing that day. If I wasn't "on assignment" for my job, there was no way in heck that I was going to be out there.

If you notice the shot of the landing, you can see water spots all over the lens. By that point on the trip, the three towels that I had brought with me were soaked. I couldn't keep the camera dry.

^I had a bad experience there. I'm surprised it's still in business. From the looks of this thread, it seems to have loyal following.

That skyline photo from the marina is wonderful! What a great new view.

[ironchapman]

Nice shots!

Love the marina skyline!

Skylines in general look good by the river.

love the effect the fog gives the skyline

I love Beach Road. I used to go there all the time because it is right by my school. Back on JV, we used to eat there before the varsity football games. It has gotten a little bit nicer recently.

I took this earlier this evening (July 12th) while kayaking near county dock in Mandarin. The bridge in the fore gorund is the buckman.

Is there a way you can walk across the shands to take some pics? or is drving across in a car and hoping the cables dont get in the shot the best way? im also thinking about going dt this weekend and taking some uncommon angles of dt, any suggestions? from the east is what i had in mind.

My favorite perspective is from points east, especially around dusk approaching from the Hart Bridge. It provides an unobstructed elevated view and captures a significant portion of our skyline not usually seen in print. I also like watching the traffic from the southeast during rush hour, courtesy of Firstcoastnews.com and FDOT.

Good luck and I look forward to your pictures.

The Beaver Street Viaduct, near the farmers market, is also a good spot to take pictures of the skyline. It combines the North and Southbank towers and you can see the towers normally hidden during the popular shots taking from the river looking north.

[asonj23]

The shots from the northside looking south definitely show the best density because the teller buildings along the riverfront are a backdrop instead of an obstruction.

Here is a pic I stumbled across.

I think it is from NAS looking north.

Here are a couple skyway pics I have always loved.

[Urban_Legend]

The Skyway offers some of the most interesting views for pics! I like it when you can see yourself in the mirrored glass at Riverplace Station lol.
