This was a snapshot that Louisa and I took from the Roanoke Star. I'd like to go back and get another one with a tripod next time, but this is what Louisa and I came up with on this trip.
Aww...brings back memories. I went to Randolph-Macon Woman's College for my undergrad so I wasn't too far from Roanoke. I have a friend who actually goes to VA Tech right now. Ok, enough about me...You've actually done quite well without the tripod. The photo is a bit hazy, but if Virginia is as humid as I remember, then there's not much you could have done about that.
Awesome shot of my city. :) I love the view from up there, and have a few shots of downtown I may share in the future. Now that the H&C sign is lit up again, that would make an excellent shot as well.
Not the torturer will scare me
Nor the body's final fall
Nor the barrels of death's rifles
Nor the shadows on the wall
Nor the night when to the ground
The last dim star of pain, is hurled
But the blind indifference
Of a merciless unfeeling world
I've lived in Roanoke for 30+ years, and
its one of the best shots I've seen !!
