Charlotte Photo of the Day

[RaleighHeelsfan]

Photo requests:

I would like to see more shots taken from the streetcar and light rail. I would also light to see more ground level shots. Thanks for all the great photos everyone!

I hope I'm not upsetting anyone by posting too many pics at a time or too often.

Here's a cool shot showing the same angle in 1973, 1985, and 2015. What a difference! (sorry if this was shared before and I missed it)

 

This is looking up at the DEC from the top of the mint apartments.

 

Fog rolling in

 

This is from the fifth floor is the Presbyterian hospital. That layered density though 

 

this is a different angle I haven't seen before:

 

This is probably really unsafe but it made for a really cool pic. Very instagram-y

Post to your heart's content!  That last photo is brilliant.

It's throwback Thursday somewhere. 1930's Charlotte:

This is a cool promotional pamphlet made by the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. Even way back then in little ol' Charlotte, they showed off skyscrapers as a sign of status and prosperity.

 

Looking north from South Tryon St.

1930's Charlotte Skyline (about half of those tall buildings have been demolished)

Here are a few I snapped Saturday 

I tried to capture the three big uptown projects' cranes in one pic.

In front of the Ritz [facing Trade Street]. That's the Epicentre directly across the street.

I think he actually photographs them, a lot of his pictures he takes are views from apartments.

Ah, cool!  Just thought that would be a funny coincidence.

I actually just actively look for cool pictures of Charlotte to share. I used to browse this site for a long time before making an account and this was my favorite topic by a lot so I want to contribute to it as much as I can especially since I don't have inside information about projects to be able to share.

Funny coincidence, I was inside that condo for a party last week. Took this photo from the bedroom window

[Nick2]

Wow that is a funny coincidence!

Nick 2,  Your photos of Charlotte are magnificent, sublime, and inspiring! 

It's an immense pleasure to see the Queen City through your artistic eyes.  Thanks so much!

[grodney]

photobucket sizes this down, but anyway I took some photos at a Knights game a couple weeks ago and google was kind enough to stitch them into a pano:

[Nick2]

Thanks @QCxpat. Just to be clear, I'm not taking these. Only finding them.

[SentioVenia]

Dude, if you're not actually taking the photo, you really should credit/source it.  

[Nick2]

Sure, I'll try to do that from now on.

Ascent Tower is sickening in the best way possible. The perfect location. I love how imposing it looks on the skyline. Its perfect!
