Trying to take some pictures getting as many of our green tree's in uptown as I can before Winter comes along.






( Can't believe how much this area has changed over the recent years ^)

Some of you may remember I did an amateur looking video tour of Uptown about a year or so ago, but since then I've upgraded cameras and taken film much more seriously. I was in town a week ago and decided to take a break from the road videos that I usually do on my travels and re-film Uptown in HD. I thought this turned out pretty cool since many projects like the Duke Energy Center, Wells Fargo CC, Nascar HOF, and Ritz/Bank of America have all been completed since I last filmed and are featured in this video:



Yes, I know I ran two traffic lights in this. My apologies if any of you were driving alongside me and assumed I was an ***hole driver. I've got a limited amount of HD recording time on my camera that I use and tried to make the first one and didn't see the second one due to the CATS bus. And, many thanks to InitialD for his awesome photo used in the opening. As a photographer, I am greatly envious of that shot.

I think the music goes great with the video. I also like the "Queen City" signs you put on there. I was surprised at all the activity going on but it was probably shot on the weekend. An impressive video to say the least.

A happy side effect of the new Mint Museum, it gives the old Wachovia tower new life as seen from the roof terrace!

Here is a quick panorama that I took this past Sunday atop the new Mint Museum:

Took this about a month ago from the top of UNC Charlotte's new uptown building.

Very nice shot moondev. That's one of the better shots of uptown I've seen. The are on the VA Paper Co. building really looks good there. Agreed with Urbanity... just need to have Romare Bearden Park now!

Nice panos. I cannot wait for that northern end of the skyline to fill in.

Well first off, hows everyone been?
I'm trying to get back into my old hobby, and what better place to start then, well, where I started...

^ Hooray! I've been wondering where you and your wonderful pictures disappeared to. Welcome back! For those of us who don't live in Charlotte, these pictures really are worth a thousand words. Thanks to everyone who takes time to post pics here.
