Andy, I like that angle. I've taken one from that general area before, but I think your's turned out better.

Spartan, that's a fantastic shot.

You all know of that picture that was taken of that military plane flying over Charlotte? I saw it.....but i wasnt able to obtain a copy of it. it was absically a shot of the plane, which was kinda a grey or brown color, flying over the city, and the two most prominent buildings were the bank of america hq and heart tower. the plane appeared to be flying over first ward, so you can imagine the angle from the air. it was neat.

I've never seen so many people in downtown Charlotte...from March 1st with the CIAA in town:

I was there that night and it was even more people. Felt like a major city, like NY or Chicago. Although the streets was trashed that night.

I'd say it is about even, with wachovia still taller, you need to take a look at the westside webcam. Keep in mind the first 7 or 8 floors of wachovia are double floor height, and Catalyst is a residential tower, even if it is at around 14-15 floors now, its probably shorter than Wachovia.

I was on the 13th floor of the Energy Center today, and yes, Wachovia is still taller.

Actually, let me rephrase that. Wachovia is higher, in relation to somebody on the 13th floor of the energy center. The lot that Catalyst sits on *might* be at a lower elevation than Wachovia's, so Catalyst might be taller from base to top. But that's just nit-picking.

Agreed, we there for Stomp, and walked for several hours afterward enjoying a drink at a few different places, it was a zoo. I loved it, and it was notable how many sidewalk vendors were out, you'd think you were somewhere else.

Sidewalk vendors have a real market since there is otherwise little no NO retail in the city. Maybe I'll start a sidewalk department bookstore

Welcome to UP! Great shot. If only the jukebox of Wachovia was turned a little bit more so you could see the top of it lit up as well.

[Spartan]

Awesome shot!

Maybe this is what Charlotte is now. So maybe we can think we're in Charlotte

WOW Cyrusuncc - That is a great shot. Where did you take it from? I have seen this angle in several photos but have not been able to figure it out yet.

Perhaps the most beautiful shot of uptown Charlotte I have ever seen. Outstanding.

From S Cedar St across the Panther's practice field. This is probably the last hurrah for my G3 - my new XTi and accompanying lenses should be in soon

And, for good measure, Johnson Wales. The careful eye will spot the security gaurd that was afraid I was taking photos of the crappy BofA office building there. BofA can eat me.
