JOHNNY GWIN
Wandering pilgrim of communication & Graphic Design. Once upon a time was lucky enough to play bass in my favorite band, now just a compulsive vinyl lover. Lover of stories. A collector of trivial things and useless facts. Not the smartest person in the world, but damn sure not the dumbest either. Loyal to a fault. Learning to be a forgiver.
Bad speller and worse grammarer. I live by one rule: NEVER ENTER INTO A LAND WAR IN ASIA.

This video is longer than the normal 24 hour time period because I felt the two days together formed a perfect display of a beautiful clear day to overcast - to rainy day evolution in the Port City. Located next to Mobile Bay ~ Mobile sees it’s share of weather patterns. I was glad to capture a this calming and moody 48 hours of moving clouds, light rain and peaks of sunlight.
The RSA—BankTrust Building, originally the First National Bank Building, is a 34 story, 424-foot (129 m) International Style office tower located in downtown Mobile, Alabama. Located at 107 St. Francis Street Mobile, Alabama, USA (30°41′34.16″N 88°2′28.86″W) it was Mobile’s tallest Building in Mobile from 1965—2007 - 424 feet (424 - 129 m). It is also the home of the famous Mobile New Years Moonpie Drop (http://www.mobilenewyear.com/) and The Bienville Club (located on the top floor).

The center building is The Regions Bank Building (previously known as the Merchants National Bank Building and the First Alabama Bank Building) Completed in 1929, the building rises 236 feet (72 m) and 18 stories. An example of Art Deco architecture. It has a distinctive copper-plated pyramidal roof structure; the height to the base of the pyramid is 190 feet.
