Yesterday it rained in Greenville and I went for a walk to take a few photos. As you can see there were others enjoying a walk in the rain as well. The photo shows a man crossing the Swamp Rabbit bridge (map location) with the River Place Hampton Inn as the backdrop … The moisture is greatly appreciated and everyone has a smile on their face. Unfortunately we need many more days like today to replenish the water supply.

Today’s title is a small play on words given this path and the fountain it crosses is next to the Peace Center, Greenville’s performing arts center. About a year ago I posted another photo taken next to the Peace Center with a similar play with words. It was the ladder to peace … I promise to move on to non-nighttime-fountain photos tomorrow (smile).

I went for a walk last night to enjoy the sights and sounds or Greenville. Naturally I took a few photos as well. The photo I’m sharing today is of the restaurant Larkin’s on the River (map location). This photo was taken with a pool of water and a small water falls in the foreground with the Larkin’s patio in the background. The water is part of a fountain behind the Peace Center. The Reedy River is on the other side of Larkins … I recommend local reader take an evening stroll and enjoy the fountains Greenville has to offer.
PS: Abe, from Brookville Daily Photo, asked about the settings for this photo. They were: focal length 26mm, exposure time 1/10 second, aperture f/4.5, and ISO 800.

As a follow-up to yesterday’s photo I’m sharing another fountain from downtown Greenville. This time the fountain and flame in front of the County Bank (map location). Some of you may remember this past photo of fire and ice in this same fountain.

One more photo from my nighttime photo hunt this last weekend. Then I promise I will move on to a few day time photos … Today’s photo is of the Coke-Cola building (map location) which houses a gallery extension from Bob Jones University. I understand the art is outstanding.

This weekend, Main Street was busy with lots of people enjoying the atmosphere. I was visiting with my son-in-law, as we strolled down Main Street. He said several times he was very impressed by the number of people …. Today’s photo was taken using a panning technique. It is interesting what a camera lenses will do when the shutter speed is slowed down … The horse carriage is the same one from yesterday’s photo.
