10/23/08 ~ Thanks also to Laurie from Glimpses of South Pasadena and your very kind words (to follow) . . .
"With gratitude and great pleasure I would like to pass the award to these photography bloggers:
Hope of Knoxville Daily Photo. Hope can squeeze images out of her Nikon Coolpix that will astonish you. The photographs of her kids capture the essence of childhood and a mother's love with the same poignancy and joy of the paintings of Mary Cassatt..."
Tanya and Laurie . . . . I am truly honored and flattered that you have chosen me to receive this award. Sincere thanks to both of you for this award and your nice comments!

Oh Hope, this is a gorgeous photo, love it!
Very eye-catching! The building deserves a sign like that.
The lights on the wet street reveals the street is in need of repair several places. I think this is a real common problem now with governemts atruggling with less money for everything. Here we have less salt for the roads because the cost went sky high and less money for everything else.
This is a beautiful photograph. The "main drag" next to the campus where I work is called Tennessee Street. One of the traditions for students here on their 21st birthday is to do what they call the "Tennessee Waltz" and hit all the bars along that street. Thanks for following my blog!
What a classic shot! Is the inside of the theater as impressive? I love that you caught the wet pavement, and the long perspective. You are as sharp as your pics, I did post Smiths' a while back on my site..
Ken Mac....the interior of this theatre is breathtaking! I hope someday to have a tour of the inside! Of course, I would take photos!
Btw...I thought you had posted Smith's Bar previously...it did look familiar!
Yes, it is! Thanks for the reminder of our pretty it is at night. I could go by every weekday night, but don't. I work at the end of Gay Street.
Leedra....I work at the end of Gay Street, too! I'm in the Andrew Johnson Building. Where do you work?
I am at the other end. The AT&T main building at the corner of Depot and Broadway. I work 4PM to midnight.
I just saw the rainbow of reflections in the brick part of the street. It is so pretty!
Do they have it all lit up every night? What a treat!
Boise Diva....I'm not sure if it's lit up every night....this was rare for me to be out at night to see this sign. I'm usually at home during the evening hours!
great capture!
btw, the sign is only lit when there's a show or special event there.
You sure do make our "scruffy little city" look good. Great photo!!
Thanks for the info, Knoxville Girl! I've always wondered about the sign and if it was lit all the time or not.
This is a great night shot. i love all the colours and reflections on the wet street. And the sign!
I love night photography though I have to admit I lose the ambition to shoot after cooking dinner and washing dishes. You've captured such an emotive scene with the light reflections.
Gogouci....I am very much like you. This was a very rare excursion for me. I don't venture out at night very often. I'm like you....once I'm in for the night, I'm in. With 2 young children and a husband....it's just not practical for me (and for our family) to go out in the evening.
Beautiful shot
Beautiful nite shot Hope. Love the paved in gold look!
