Very nice. I'm curious. I'm too poor right now to buy a camera to start my next career as a photojournalist, but on the columns picture, if you had stepped slightly to the left and widened the angle, could you have caught part of the Capitol Center and shown more of the Meridian?

[waccamatt]

I can't wait to see how it will look once all of the building is covered in glass. The real thing is starting to look so much better than the renderings. I hope they do something really cool with the chapeau like lighting it from the interior in varying colors or something like that. Since the neon at the top of the BofA Tower and the bonnet on top of Meridian are both white lights, I hope this one will be something different.

I think the same thing.

Cool view after dark!

I wish the Capitol Center still had a logo at the top (like the South Trust in the photo above). I also wish Wilbur Smith hadn't changed their signage at the top.

Yeah, those signs added a bit of "punch" to the skyline.

The "forgotten" part of the skyline:

A skyline pano from a view rarely posted. Kudos to the person who can guess the vantage point.

Parking garage at Providence Hospital. Nice photo and great shot of entire skyline.

Close, but not quite.

My guess is that it's from the Benedict College football stadium area.

Also close, but not quite.

The hospital itself then? I can't think of any other high structure in the area to give that great vantage point.

Middleborough Plaza. What a beautiful green city for all of UrbanPlanet to see. Thank you, Waccamatt. I love it. I've often thought of living at Middleborough just for the view. Talk about a city of trees.

That is correct...from the 6th floor of the new wing.

Hey everyone, we need to get this photo thread busy again. Pricemiller asked me to post this photo he took from the 11th floor of the Sheraton looking south.

[CorgiMatt]

The light grayish blue glass on the new building is going to look great from there. It's looking great on all sides from the ground.

I think this one is fitting for Independence Day weekend--the flag at the Esplanade at CanalSide:
