Today’s photo is a follow-up to yesterdays … This construction site (map link) is next to City Hall and across the street from our condo. In fact this photo was taken from our patio balcony. We have a view of the activity and a cautious awareness of the blasting which has occurred to break the rocks up which you see … Interestingly they are processing the rock into gravel on site … A hotel and office building will be constructed over the next year. What I look forward to is that the plans call for a public green spaces plaza to be integrated with the buildings.

Being of a certain age, ever since this wall was constructed I have been humming songs from Pink Floyd’s album The Wall … I took the photo trying to capture the colors of the yellow car and the orange wall. However ever since the color pink has been on my mind … The wall is located at the intersection of Main Street and Broad Street next to City Hall.

Today’s photo is of a construction site in downtown Greenville. The location is at the corner of Main Street and Broad Street. A hotel and office building will rise on this site. In addition a plaza is in the plans and the rumor is that the plaza will contain an ice rink in the Winter months.

I have found that construction sites offer photo opportunities with scenes which are short term and will not be seen again … For example today’s photo shows part of the City Center parking garage wall with the Peace Center in the background. The City Center is being demolished and a new hotel is planned. You may remember my previous post showing equipment at the Construction site across from the Peace Center.

The City Center building and garage have been demolished and construction will soon begin on a new hotel. Greenville’s performing arts center, the Peace Center, is in the background … More on the late City Center tomorrow.

Yesterday, I noticed a new bird house next the Reedy River across from RiverPlace. I found this new construction, of a bird house, a nice complement to the recent construction of the Hampton Inn and Terrace condo complex.

Today’s photo is another is my study on how to photograph a crane. In the foreground is a Grand Master’s name carved in stone on the Liberty building. Personally I found the concurrent theme of construction, both in the foreground and the background, to be interesting. Also, I envious of an accomplishment which last as long as a building.
