Charlotte Skyline Shots

[Batou]

That'd be the new Wachovia tower and it'll actually be the new second tallest building... if something else doesn't get announced between now and then.

Ah, i couldn't tell by that pic of it beat hearst or not, was thinking either 3rd or 2nd. It's pretty sweet looking.

Our buildings are sooo close to each other.. We need some more space between buildings, especially big ones. We should try to try to build a little bit more away from each other, so that we could get some bigger streets in Downtown. I hate driving in 1 lane streets.

I found this while perusing on Flickr (I peruse a lot on Flickr ) and wanted to share it! It is not my image but was taken by someone apparently in a plane departing/landing and according to the EXIF it was taken last week (October 3rd). Notice the big Wachovia hole and the fact that the Ritz plot is the same as it is today. Very neat to see an updated aerial of downtown:

I'm linking because it is not my image:

Nice pic! I hate those surface lots, but they sure do give us alot of potential for future development. It will be fun watching those fill up.

I finally got a chance to post these:

Nice photos. I was by uptown Charlotte last night and it looks great at night with all the lights on in the buildings. You need a helecoper to get the best shots. It would noyt be safe to stop on the freeways to take a picture.

When the Trademark, Avenue, The Vue, Citadin and the old Poke site new building gets built, the west side of uptown will take on a great looking dense Center City

Great pics, I always love night shots! I'm waiting for a very clear day to get one from Morehead when the sun is just setting, its a great angle this time of year.

From the 615 Morehead site. Until someone makes a large donation to get me a better camera, your stuck with a BofA with green lighting, lol. I tried every setting, it just always comes up green

Isn't there a tower under construction that is supposed to be the new tallest in Chalotte?

I got bored, so I decided to post up some images from the tv webcams:

Uptown from the West:

from the east:

and my personal favorite, from the north:

Hope you enjoyed!

[Neo]

The skyline from the North is also my favorite and from that angle it certainly makes the city look dense (of course, it can be said that the core is fairly dense regardless). I can't wait for some of the other projects to rise out of the ground affecting these webcam shots.

Here's a B&W skyline shot I took while heading out of Uptown Charlotte about 6 months ago:

[Southernyank]

These are all some great shots. Hey PhartNocker what type of camera do you use?

[rockhilljames]

Here's one I tood a few weeks ago. It's the same one I used for the Wachovia mock-up.

That photo makes for a great wallpaper

Merry Christmas!!

My addition. From the viaduct in north Charlotte.

[Mobuchu]

Great shot MC!!!

[AuLukey]

very nice, I guess I will compliment your pictures in the Trademark and Avenue threads here too rather than just repeat myself in them. Trademark really is adding a lot more to our skyline than I had previously anticipated. I love the reflection of the sky on the railroad tracks though, makes it look like a picture with cars zooming by,

Here are a couple from the plane last week.

I do, but it also leads to a lot of undeserved scorn when others see our aerial images. To them, there are a few buildings downtown and nothing else around.

As my friend Greg from Cleveland said after I toured him around: "I had no idea!"

[Miesian Corners]

I was at the library researching stuff for school today. Thought y'all might like to see some of the stuff I found.

Here's the Charlotte Skyline, 1973

Here's another, 1974

Finally, 1978
