Sidewalk art on River Walk in Greenville, SC

Today is theme day in the City Daily Photo Blog community. The theme is City Exchange and I have made it easy on you. I’m sure everyone can quess that Rome is the city this scene from Greenville looks like. Specifically the Micahlagelo’s painting on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Today’s photo is of sidewalk art on River Walk in downtown Greenville. The artist is Rod Tyron.

One of the most interesting things about this month’s theme is the variety of ideas that came out of it. Who would have thought to see Rome in a sidewalk in Greenville? I guess that’d be you! I like the full view photo too.

“Reach out and touch someone.” That kind of day.

My Theme Day portrait is of the “Peashooter” and the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Hope you like flying.

What a impressive art work on the side walk.
It’s ‘vivid’ as my anti spam word suggesting.

Amazing! Is that an annual event? How long does it stay on the sidewalk?

Thanks for sharing this one Denton. This one was just being started when my friend and I were in Greenville that Friday before the official start of Artisphere.

Very nice, indeed! I did think of Rome when I saw the photo but didn’t necessarily recall this was Sistine Chapel art.

Great photo! I just found this website and clicked through several months of past photos, all very interesting and nicely done! Love the site and will visit again. My family and I are considering a move to Greenville. What are some “must do” things while visiting to get a feel for living there?
