Just never been by there at various times of day to see when is best to catch the sun in the right position. I am guessing these pics were taken with the building facing the James River, so I don't know if the sun would ever swing around behind you.[/quote]
Paul, when the offical Pierce photographer in town back in 1999 to shoot all five types of rides that we bought, we shot a series at Ethyl and I had to get their permission for us to use the building and property as a back ground while on their property. We did use 2nd street by the Virginia War Memorial as well, parking the rides on the street and having Ethyl's building as a back ground and aslo several downtown buildings too.
