I went out today and took some pics. . .Dayton has one of the best skylines for a mid-sized city!!

Enjoy. .

The New MVH Heart Tower

Pride!!

another new bridge in d8n

if you look very close you can see the crane buidling the new mvh tower. . I was directy in front of it and I had no idea it would be visible from this spot. . it'll fit nicely in the skyline

another pic of the performance venue at riverscape in the process of being built

Now the otherside of the Skyline!!

another shot of the mvh tower in process of being built

 

it hard to see but the black train bridge can be seen from this spot, hopefully soon the 3c&d train will be crossing it!

That's not smoke it's the top of the riverscape water fountain

 

Thanks for looking. . I hope to shoot some of UD soon

 

Always nice to see Daytonati; thanks!

Nice thread, thanks for posting.

 

I really love the second to last skyline shot. What a great, unappreciated view of the city :)

Two things I love about Dayton: the art museum, and the way you have the gentle grassy slopes going down to the river.  I dont know why, but that always just makes the river look so peaceful and undisturbed to me.

Great job!!!

Very nice :)

Great pics of my hometown! I had no idea the new MVH tower was so big.

I'll second that. Dayton's Art Institute is first-rate and its setting is hard to beat, with its outstanding view of downtown. The river's path through the city is a real asset, providing scenic beauty and space for recreation.

I really hope this city comes out its sad economic condition. It has so much potential and so much to work with already. Great photos too.

 

Do you think things are improving now or will in the not too distant future? I am just hearing so much bad.

 

    The Great Miami River was modified in a flood control project following the 1913 flood. The same project also modified the Great Miami River in Hamilton.

The more I look at the Miami, the more I question if this was its original path. Was it ever re-routed? The smooth, treeless banks remind me a lot of the re-routed parts of the Hocking. Was it modified for flood control?

 

The Great Miami was greatly altered after the 1913 flood through the establishment of the Miami Conservancy District:

I miss Dayton.  Those pictures of the skyline through the trees, where were those taken from?

Well, the worst is over so things will improve (slowly).

Woodland Cemetery. . .it's pretty amazing. Probably one of Dayton's most hidden gems.

 

I really wish I had a better camera (I used a point and click) but then again, I wish I knew more about photography too.

 

Dayton is slowly crawling out of the recession, much like many other cities around the country. I'm hopeful for its future!

 

PS. . DAI was packed. . I had to park across at the Masonic temple. . there were people everywhere at DAI, inside and outside sketching and taking pictures. . .and downtown was relatively busy as well. A beautiful sight indeed. Also, the Caresource building up close is amazing. What a wonderful job they did! Very impressed

Nice! :)

Great Stuff!!  I especially like the Cemetary Shots..

Great pics of the Gem City!  I really like how the CareSource HQ turned out, gives the city a nice modern touch.  It's good to see at least one person in Dayton has "pride" :-D

^I'm not dead yet ;)

 

So I guess that's three, assuming you, me, and Prfttimeofday.

 

I know there's others......
