This is not an antique. I swear. It is a telephone. A working public telephone. A City Market anachronism.^
City Market, dead center.^
Wachovia Tower.^
Hotel Roanoke.^
Some of Susan Jennings' city artwork (nice, Susan).^
Clock at Wachovia Tower. I like this. It gives a small-town feel to the center of the urban area.^
Horses used to drink from the Dogmouth Fountain on City Market.^I went downtown about noon today to get some shots in the snow, which was about eight inches at the time and still falling steadily.
I don't remember when the city felt so quiet. The roads were in good shape, relatively, but Roanokers are not keen on driving in falling snow, so I pretty much had it to myself, except for the occasional plow and some walkers.
It is a different view of the city than the one I get on an almost daily basis; one that is stark, lovely and, most of all, quiet. I like quiet. Roanoke in the quiet. Nice.

Lovely shots of a place usually buzzing with activity. Nice to see the city sleeping.
ReplyDeletehauntingly quiet, I am not a city girl but those are nice shots. I am afraid walking in the city, but I'd walk through the woods anytime.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing these sights after being gone for 3 1/2 years.
ReplyDeleteNice, wonderful feeling, Dan
