The Sunsphere

Today’s Photo: The Sunsphere

Designed and built for the 1982 World’s Fair, the Sunsphere remains an iconic landmark in Knoxville, Tennessee.  So, of course, I had to make a trip to visit.  The World’s Fair park was impressive, but not so much the Sunsphere.  It was neat to get to go to the observation deck and watch the city.  I wanted to get some skyline shots from the observation deck at night, but the reflections from the lights inside the deck prevented that.  So, I settled for a few shots from outside.

Well, work has taken over this week with unexpected things to do, so I have not made my last few posts.  I hope to be back on track now, but that can change at a moments notice.

I found these bikes in downtown Cartersville.  There must have been a meeting of the American Legion near here.  I found several Legion bikes.  I really liked all the Chrome on these.  If you look close in the engine casing of the bike on the left, you get some great reflections.

On the North end of Market Square in Knoxville, Tennessee, sits one location of the Tennessee Valley Authority.  In front of that building is a waterfall and this large silver statue that is really reflective.  I tried several different angles and really like this one with the water fountain reflecting in the statue.

Well, it is almost Christmas time again.  That means lights.  Lots of lights.  I still have not finalized where I’m gonna go exploring this year, but Stone Mountain and Rome have been on my mind.  This is a shot from Calhoun last year.  I thought this bell was pretty neat and fit well with the tree in the background.

Seven tribes from one nation began a long journey from here that became known as the trail of tears.  In 2005, members of the Cherokee Tribe created this waterfall in remembrance of that journey.  It begins with seven fountains, seen here, that flow into a narrow channel and then down a series of steps, eventually ending in a pool.  This is just one of the Ghosts of the Trails of Tears shots that I took.

This little pond is located at the end of S. Thomas Drive where it intersects Front Beach Road.  It is a rather busy area, but this little pond seems to be neglected.  I took a few minutes to walk out to the little building.  I would not recommend that, it was not very stable.  I got a few shots of Pompanos, the restaurant sitting along the edge of the pond.

I ran into this restaurant along Gay Street in Knoxville.  I could not pass up the contrasting blues and orange.  I stood here for a while to get a shot without people in it.  This was one busy sidewalk and restaurant.

Today’s Photo: UT Football Fireworks

The week before the University of Tennessee played Alabama, I was taking a walk around Knoxville.  I was taking photos around Neyland Stadium when I began hearing fireworks.  I made it to this spot just in time to get the last few minutes of the fireworks.  With the UT Football bus parked by the firework locations, I am assuming that it was a send off for the players, but I was never able to find out definitively. Talk about a fun run through the streets of Knoxville.  I’m just glad I did not get squished.

A great feature of subdivisions and apartment complexes are the amenities.  Most have pools as the main amenity and the apartment complex in Knoxville that I stayed at was no different.  I was able to get a few shots of the pool area with no swimmers.  This is looking back toward the club house / office.

After spending several evenings in downtown Knoxville, I can say that one of my favorite areas is Market Square.  The first night I ventured out to Market Square, it was still warm enough to have plenty of people.  It was far enough into November to have Christmas light being placed.  This is a little alley way off Market Square.  I was able to dodge people long enough to take a photo or two.  If you happen to be in Market Square, stop by Cafe4.  The day we stopped, they had a special on their hamburgers.  Some of the best I’ve had.
