Sunsphere View IV
A view to the north of Knoxville. In this photo you can see portions of our World's Fair park in the foreground and the old L & N train station to the right. The ridgeline in the distance is called Sharp's Ridge. The gap in the ridgeline is of course called Sharp's Gap. Interstate 275 runs north of Knoxville through Sharp's Gap and then becomes I-75 North. You can also see I-40 in this photo which runs east-west through Knoxville.

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..."

Drove that route many times but never saw it from this view.
Hope, did you take this from atop the water tower? Vertigo!
Hey, I was just there two weeks ago. Great picture.
I took these from the Sunsphere at the World's Fair Park in Knoxville. The Sunsphere was built as the icon of the World's Fair in 1982. There are offices inside and an observation floor from which you can look out over Knoxville from all directions.
Wow that's some traffic network. In Salem we have I-5. You going north or south?
What an awesome view! I love how this part of the city doesn't have skyscrapers and how the built-up spaces are interspersed with a lot of trees. Everything looks so neat too.
This view is looking North.
