Although Greenville does not have a lot of wind and I have not seen any wind turbines in the area, Greenville does have a tie to wind as alternative energy. Specifically the General Electric (GE) plant, in Greenville, has focused on the construction of wind turbines … Note that the sign in today’s photo is not as large as it appears. It only about 2 foot by 3 foot in size. To present this very large impression I held my camera relatively close to the sign to take the shot.

Last night this couple stopped me on Main Street and introduced themselves. It turns out they are moving to Greenville and contribute part of their decision to the photos shown here on GreenvilleDailyPhoto.com … I am very flattered … Actually, in addition to numerous emails from people planning moves to Greenville, Connie and I have met others visiting or moving to Greenville in part due to our blog … As Jules, from Rabaul (Paula New Guinea) would say. I’m quite chuffed (I had to look chuffed up — it means very pleased and is commonly used in the UK) … PS: This photo was taken in the center of Main Street. There were lights twinkling in the trees, lots of people walking in the sidewalks, and a band playing in the background … best wishes to Mike and Paula.

This quite scene is very different from what the festivities will be like tonight. The 4th of July celebration is always spectacular and well attended. For those of us who live downtown we can enjoy the crowds, fun, and excitement. And at the same time have the peace of mind knowing that in few days we will have another quite night on Main Street.
PS: The mystery of where the rock staircase leads will be revealed on Saturday.

Happy mother’s day to one and all. I hope the day is special and full of enjoyment. Click here to see one of my favorite photos of my mother … Be sure and call or hug your mother today.
Today’s posted photo shows a chair on Main Street shortly after the rain ended Friday evening. One of the lessons my mother tought me was to enjoy the rain. I also like this closeup of the chair.

I went on a long walk last night looking for a photo opportunity. I enjoyed the walk however it seemed the light was all wrong until I was almost home. Then across from where I live I found the light was good and the subject interesting.

The trees shown in this photo line Main Street in Greenville. In my opinion they are one of the treasures of Greenville. All of these trees were planted around 1960 as part of a downtown redevelopment which included “narrowed the street’s four lanes to two and installed free, angled parking, trees, and decorative light fixtures, as well as created parks and plazas throughout downtown”.
