Norfolk Pictures

What floor is that picture taken from?

That's from up on the 21st floor's outdoor patio area, I'm on the 14th, facing downtown norfolk, so I lose about half the viewable section of the Norfolk Southern building from my balcony as opposed to upstairs.

Welcome to Norfolk...you're staying in the Botetourt?

Thanks Actually staying in Hague Tower... is the Botetourt the 8-story brick bulding across brambleton?

Wanted to take a few shots around town to kick off the new year, hope you all like them (I apologize in advance if I titled any of the buildings incorrectly).

Great pics! It was a cold but clear day out. Perfect for taking pics and a coffee break along the way.

Maybe one day if lightrail becomes a true success story, Waterside drive could be reduced from 8 to 4 lanes and more development can reclaim the area infront of the main street buildings.

Just moved to downtown norfolk, and snapped this very low quality shot from my new building-

You live around the corner from me! Welcome to the neighborhood.

Happy New Year guys.

Just back from my semiannual trip to your fair city and my hometown. Posted a few pictures to my website (see link below). Calling this series "Norfolk Revisited" (subtitled "Fun With PhotoShop") for a number of reasons. While in town I was privileged to get an all access tour of the Union Mission, formerly the Navy Y, where several decades ago I spent many Saturday mornings in a small shop run by a dear old aunt. Also, for anyone who would like to see casinos in Virginia one day, check out the picture of the Granby with a blackjack table on the left side for an idea of what that might look like.

Again, not much new here that you all haven't already seen ... just maybe some slightly different perspectives. And sorry for the link rather than posting the actual pictures, but the file sizes are pretty hefty.

Here are a few of my favorite pics I've taken:

Sentara Heart Hospital in the setting sun

The Rotunda

USS Wisconsin

Nauticus

A cruise ship at the Half Moone

Dinosaur-esque terminal cranes as seen from ODU's Sailing Center

MacArthur Memorial and Kirn Memorial Library (Library to be torn down during LRT construction)

Downtown Skyline the night after the Grand Illumination (my favorite)

This one's not as glamorous, but I am kind of excited about getting a re-vamped Town Point Park

Here are a few of my favorite pics I've taken:

The Rotunda

I've seen that one previously on Google Earth, guess you're Norfolk87, a very nice photo indeed!

Everytime I see the rotunda, I am truly amazed at the metamorphosis from concrete bunker to beautiful living space. If anyone has time, I'd love to see a side by side old vs. new.

Wowee, having never seen the original version in person, I'm amazed to see what all went into the transformation of that building!

[Norfolk4Life]

very nice inside too. a bit out of my price range but the balconies have a great view up top

[vdogg]

Yuck! That building was hideous. I'd almost forgotten how ugly it was. That thing cracked my computer screen.

LOL! Yeah, well I had the displeasure of having to actually work inside of that building!

i recently added some great pics to my panoramio account - Norfolk87 - there were too many. i decided it would take too much time/space to put them all in here

These are great! I wasn't familiar with Panoramio. Thanks.

I think the Rotunda sold for $1.8 million dollars.... pretty wild, huh?

My favorite view of Norfolk.

My favorite view of Norfolk.

I would be so scared to go swimming in that water!!!

Was at some robotic venture meeting and snapped a few of the park construction for yaw'll.
