Wish Charlotte had like 20 blocks of this type of look.

[Windsurfer]

This isn't a snow photo. or even a photo, but I just stumbled on a video on VIMEO of Charlotte. Actually, it's featured as one of their favorites. It's called "Metropolis" and is by a Rob Carter.Amazing.

She is all grown up. I have followed the development of the skyline for roughly 20 years and its amazing to think about the skyline circa 1985-1990 compared to this. Perhaps the biggest thing that jolted my love of scrapers and urbanity was seeing Charlottes' skyline in 1985 on our way to carowinds. Yeah it wasnt much then but it was big enough for a kid in Fayetteville. Great pic..

New digital camera has one of those "panorama stitch" options. Here's a shot from the 23rd floor of the Westin

paging 300 South Tryon...

Seriously that would absolutely MAKE this view! I never really considered its location from this view in the skyline, but it would have a big presence.

[Urbanity]

Love all the recent shots. Great Panorama! And always great shots, InitialD!

pardon my ignornace, but where would buildings like 300 S. Tryon and 210 Trade fit into this skyline picture?

[Guest]

210 Trader would be between BofA Plaza and Aloft hotel (which u can down low), butting right up to BofA Plaza. 300 South Tryon would also be in that gap but it would be a lil behind bb&t

This has been posted several times, though I still can't get enough of it!

[SentioVenia]

Wow, I had never seen that - it's amazing! Also, if you want to see the full 9-minute version, it's called "Metropolis" and it's on his website here: http://www.robcarter.net/Vid_Metropolis.html

That's a cool video. Boo for mowing down Third Ward with a football stadium and tenement housing though.

Just two shots by the Panther's practice fields

Took this from Bryant park a couple months ago, but just noticed the shadow on the side of the Bank of America building and thought it was interesting.
