Yesterday, while walking to work, I captured this photo of morning light reflecting on a staircase railing. It was one of those moments when the ordinary is especially appealing.

This tribute to Robert E Lee stands in downtown Greenville. The plaque says the statue was “Erected in 1935 by the Greenville Chapter and Fort Sumter chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy of Greenville South Carolina to mark the route of the Dixie Highway“. Some of you may remember my previous post showning the Confederate memorial from a distance.

Today’s photo is a commerce related post showing a model of the ship named Alice Bowater. Models of this ship and another named the Gladys Bowater reside in the office of the AbitiBowater building in downtown Greenville. Additional information and photos of the Alice Bowater and the Gladys Bowater can be found at the Bowater Steam Ship website. It is interesting to reflect on the history of commerce and how companies change, grow, and shift over time. These ships were built in England as part of a vast fleet of ships owned by the Bowater Steam Ship Company. Years later Greenville became the headquaters for Bowater which by then was a major pulp and paper company. Then more recently, resulting from a merger, the company headquarters has moved to Montreal.

I took this photo a few weeks ago when the daffodils were still blooming. I like how the staircase leads the readers eye through the photo. Then the reader is rewarded with the River Place building and a blue sky … The lady in left of the photo was taking a picture of the park. I actually took the photo because I wanted to be in a photo while taking a photo of the photographer … great fun playing with a scene … I wonder how her photo turned out.

Yesterday evening we enjoyed wine while we listened to music at Friday Night Jazz. Given I have shared several photos of Friday Night Jazz, in the past, today I chose to share related photos about drinking. The photo was taken yesterday at noon while I was on a walk. I found the flowers and truck interesting.

Today’s post addresses something on everyone’s mind … Conserving fuel not serving papers … The Smart Car shown in today’s photo was parked on Main Street. Click here to see a close-up of another Smart Car seen in downtown Greenville … Another option will be highlighted tomorrow when Critical Mass, a bicycle awareness rally, comes to Greenville. Check out the post, from Budapest about the Critical Mass rally recently held there. Click on the following thumbnail for details about the Critical Mass rally in Greenville.
