Beale Street Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the famous Beale Street from Memphis, Tennessee. It runs from the Mississppi River to East street, approxiamately 1.8 miles (2.9 km). This city is famous for the Blues and is known as the birth place of Rock n' Roll.

There a lots of blues bars and restaurants that line this street. Plenty of southern food, beer and music that goes non-stop till 5:00 am. You can also see lots of street performers throughout the night. Some of the famous places along the street are: The Hard Rock Cafe, Coyote Ugly, B.B. King's Blues Club, A. Shwab's, Wet Willies, Alfred's and so on. I was surprised at how fun visiting this area was.

Take care,
Tosca

Morning Tosca

I'm so surprised you uploaded this photo! i wasn't expecting that at all!
what a pleasant surprise :)
The sky is a pretty pale blue, and all the buildings are nicely saturated.
the angle and POV is excellent, as you must have been standing directly in the centre.
again, nice surprise photo!
see you soon
Craig

Hi Tosca!
Very fine street, nice point of view, good long perspective. Ideal light and colors. Good frame. What about novel "If Beale Street Could Talk" by James Baldwin?
Greetings from Warszawa!

Hi tosca

A good daily life scene from Memphis. The sign kind of contradicts the popular 'land of the free' catchphrase. I saw similar signs in other US States. Slowly & insidiously, our personal freedoms are being eroded. Good linear perspective & reasonable sharpness. Tfs!

Hi Tosca
A good slice of life shot from this urban setting. It is somehow refreshing to see the low rise buildings in a town this size.
Well done.
Phil

Hello Tosca

Well composed street scene taken from a well chosen POV. The street is leading the eye into the image. The colours are great. I like the neon signs which seems old and well preserved. Well seen and well executed. Thanks for sharing. Have a nive evening.

Best regards, Erling
