Today’s photo shows the Davenport entrance as I saw it during a recent evening stroll. I find the building very appealing and we considered the condos, at the Davenport (map location), when we were making our choice to live downtown. I think the building and especially the courtyard has a lot of character. In a magazine article I once saw an old photo of refrigerators lined up in front of the Davenport. The caption said something along the lines of; the Davenport residences are among the first the modern convenence of refrigerators.

I took this photo recently just before sunset. You can tell from the sky that I am looking west and the sun is behind the RiverPlace building. You can see the High Cotton restaurant, as well as Starbucks and the Michelin on Main store is in the RiverPlace building … However, what I found interesting was the perspective which makes it appear the lamp is leaning to the right and the building is leaning to the left.

The flags shown in today’s photo are in front of One Liberty Plaza in downtown Greenville. The photo was taken at twilight. The camera was hand held. I especially like the effect showing movement.

This photo was taken at twilight which explains the blue sky and movement in the flags. However, what I like most about the photo is the perspective. I also, like that there are so few lights on in the building … Do you find lights left on during the night to be a challenge with your nighttime photography? … Click here to see a similar view of the Landmark building I took in January of 2006 on a foggy night.
