Sunsphere

Knoxville, Tennessee

During a weekend visit with my wife to see my stepdaughter Grace in Knoxville attending University of Tennessee. I took the opportunity to shoot some of Knoxville.  Though short on time I did sneak back for a night shot of the Sunsphere.

I really debated on black and white or color. For now, I’m settling with color.  The Sunsphere was constructed for the 1982 World's Fair and served as the symbol for the fair. This was the last successful World’s Fair. According to the official website, the Sunsphere closed to the public with the Fair's end and remained vacant or underutilized for most of its post-fair life. The Sunsphere and the Tennessee Amphitheater are the only structures that remain from the 1982 World's Fair.
