Lenoir City, Tennessee. On Fort Loudon lake.

UPDATE: Various people want to know who this is. (My favorite guess: Linus Torvalds). It’s actually my brother, Brad. (The rock-god brother, not the history-prof brother). And reader Neal Sorens comments: “That pink shirt is far more controversial than the ‘naked woman’ in the Cheney pic.” Such shirts are fully approved for boating. Easier in case of search-and-rescue!

Knoxville, Tennessee. The Law School rotunda, looking up.

UPDATE: Donald Linton emails: “When I first saw your rotunda picture I expected the stewardess from 2001 to be walking the perimeter.” She has Sundays off. Meanwhile, John McGinnis writes:

Glenn, most imposing shot. A touch of cropping and the piece could be titled as modern art. Please post your camera and lens if you have the time.

Thanks! It was taken with the D300 and the Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye. I actually did consider cropping it down to the center elements, but my Knoxville photos are supposed to be about Knoxville, not just abstract compositions. Maybe that’s the wrong attitude!

It takes a Rick Lee, though, to make a stump look good.

Harriman, Tennessee. He asked me to take his picture as I walked by, and made a point of removing the wrap from his knee. He wouldn’t tell me his name, though: “I’m just a farmer.” He said he lost the leg five years earlier, in an accident.

UPDATE: Yes, it does have a slight Sex and the City vibe. That’s why I posted it today.
