This is a continuation of the my photo hunt on Sunday evening. This photo was taken at the same time as yesterday’s photo. At about 8:30 which was 15 minutes after sunset. It is that magic time just after sunset when the camera captures all the blue the sky has to offer. This photo was taken looking east … Other photos of Carolina First which we have posted include a view from the top of another building downtown, also a reflection, and a view from the front.

You’re in right. Just few minutes after susnset (especially in Winter) in a clean day, sky i so such blue. Then in this photo I love so much the good balance beteween lights.

Is Greenville a big town? These buildings seem huge to me! Maybe the way you take these photos (today and yesterday) from bottom to top (”contre-plongée” in French, i didn’t find the English word)accentuates this effect.

I like this one — with the lights shining up on it. But my fav is the reflection of the building in the window. That is amazing.

Alice, Greenville is pretty good size. If you don’t just go by the unusually small city limits due to S.C. law the city is about 200,000 to 250,000. The county is just over 400,000. Come see us.

Lavender Lady (Norma), I look forward to your twilight photo.
Olivier, thank you.
Fabrizio, lighting makes a photo.
Alice, Greenville is mid-sized. Wikipedia says 56,000 in the 2000 census. As Steve points that is misleading because the city limits is artificially small. It is hard to tell when you leave the city and enter the county … The perspective on the photo makes the buildings appear larger than they are.
Lessie, thank you. I like the effect the reflection has when displayed using lightbox.
Steve, thanks for explaining the size of Greenville.
