Walking in Memphis

Walking in Memphis

Uploaded: December 30, 2004

Description

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the
Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy - won?t you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a girl can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Not the clearest shot, I was going about 60 mph when I took this. But I just love our skyline so much, I had to submit. Probably not a winner here, but it is in my book!!!

One day soon I will get downtown and get the true "Memphis Blues" series!!! Maybe throw a little Elvis in there too ;-) #1003763

Still a great shot Stacey. Taking photos at that speed is not an easy task. #1003937

Stacey M December 30, 2004

Thank you Laurence. It didn't help that the sun was setting, so I had a double challenge to get a clear shot. Felt pretty good that it came out as good as it did!! Low light and car vibrations make for a big challenge!!!

Happy New Year!!! #1003957

Stacey, that's such a great song, and now when I hear the lyrics, I'll have a beautiful skyline in my head to go with them!
Terrific photo, especially while "on the move"! #1003979

Stacey M December 30, 2004

Aww, thanks Mary. If you ever get the chance, you should come for a visit. It's a beautiful area downtown. Very old and classic (even with horse drawn carriages and trolley cars!) #1004039

Thank you Stan. That is actually a song that Marc Cohn sang, I thing Cher and LoneStar have done versions of it too.
You should plan a trip down here. It's a very pretty city that I am proud to call home!!! #1004214
