The Beauty of Memphis

In one of the Memphis blogs there was a link to a blog with pictures from around Memphis. After reading the blogger’s great reviews, I had to check them out. The pictures were awesome. I know Memphis has some neat attractions, but these pictures made everything seem breathe taking. The pictures consisted of the Hernando Desoto Bridge, Main Street trolley, the Civil Rights Museum, the St. Jude Children’s Hospital Dome, the “Summer” statue in front of the Brooks Museum of Art, Overton Park in morning mist, the Zoo, the arched walkway at Christian Brothers University, the Sear’s Building, Glenview park, the old Lamar Theatre, the First Baptist Church Chelsea, Tops Bar-B-Q, the Botanic Gardens, Stax Museum Marquee, and others. My favorite picture was of Overton Park. It was taken in black and white which gave the picture a great touch. The picture makes me want to visit the park because it appears so peaceful. I also liked the picture of the trolley. The picture was taken in black and white but the trolley was in color. The picture is very creative and neat to look at. Not only were the pictures wonderful, but also the photographer made a good point. I loved how the photographer made a comment about how Memphis seems to be a bad place with all the crime that is heard about but how a camera creates a totally different view. Memphis is an interesting and historical place. I would love to see more of the attractions.
