This shot of the iconic Furman bell tower was taken in Summer of '18. We had a solid week of amazing cloud formations in the day followed by often spectacular sunsets. This image captures the passing clouds reflecting in Furman Lake, with a tree covered Paris Mountain in the background.
Another angle on Table Rock and its close neighbor, Stool Mountain. This view can be seen from Highway 11 as you approach the entrance the Table Rock State Park.
Sunset over Sassafras Mountain Overlook
Sassafras Mountain is the highest point in South Carolina. The construction of an overlook befitting such a destination was completed in 2019. We were fortunate enough to capture this view after driving through intermittent rain on the way up to the summit. This cleared up, and the sun put on a great show.
This is a view you can only get from certain rooms in the Embassy Suites Hotel, the rooftop bar, or in this case the air. I chose to make everything except the amazing rooftop mural black and white to make the colors pop. I'd love to see more buildings in the city adopt similar rooftop projects. It makes for a much more interesting landscape when looking down.
This was taken the morning after a solid week of rain fell in the area. The normally sedate Reedy was flowing much more quickly, and in a far greater volume than usual. Having photographed the Falls hundreds of times over the years, it was a little scary seeing them this way up close. Definitely wouldn't want to get caught up in the current. With that said, later that day a guy went over the falls in a kayak, and seemed to be no worse for wear.
Autumn Sunset Over Furman Lake
A nice wide shot showing Furman Lake, the bell tower, and Paris Mountain from a view just above the colorful treetops.
This shot of Paris Mountain was taken just on the edge of Fall surrendering to Winter in 2019. A week later the trees had lost all their remaining color, with the majority of their leaves on the ground.
This shot captures one of Greenville's lovely sunsets over the Eugenia Duke footbridge.
This Fall shot of the James Buchanan Duke Library at Furman University was captured during one of the rare periods when the front fountains were off. The almost entirely windless day created a nearly perfect reflecting pool in front of the library.
An idyllic Summer afternoon in Greenville's Falls Park
A beautiful sunrise over the West End. You never know if the sky is going to cooperate, but it's always exciting when it decides to put on a show.
