JorgiPorgi 6229 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 I follow “Charlotte Over the Years” on social media and a man named Mark Taylor posted this today. I remember being young and seeing NCNB(BOA) under construction on WBTV’s Live cams. It was so much taller than the rest of the skyline. It’s the building that started my fascination with architecture and infrastructure. 23 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember being young and seeing NCNB(BOA) under construction on WBTV’s Live cams. It was so much taller than the rest of the skyline. It’s the building that started my fascination with architecture and infrastructure. So, around this point of construction my friend and little cousin were just hanging out uptown when I had a great idea. "Hey! Lets go to the top!" So, that's exactly what we did. We hopped onto the elevator with a few construction workers, decked out in all their PPE. As we were whisked up into the sky, one by one the elevator emptied until it was just us. Then the ride stops, before the doors opened, the sound of wind was already clearly heard. The doors slid open and we were then immediately greeted by howls and a sight very few have ever seen. Charlotte from over 800 feet in the air. And we weren't flying. Like I said, this picture is pretty close to where the building was structure wise at that time. The windows were not - I repeat - were NOT installed yet. My friend wasn't anywhere near as excited as I was. Before I knew it, I was looking over the edge... Crazy right!? Just when the idea of how dangerous our adventure was setting in a panicked voice yells out, "How did you kids get up here!? You're gonna get all of us fired!" Somehow it was like he had all three of us by the ear walking us back to the elevator. But, before he sent us down he gave us a nugget of info I'll never forget. He said, "if one of you were to jump before we headed back down, the elevator is so fast the rest of us would make it down soon enough to see the landing." Also crazy! Anyway, sorry for the long post. This picture just brought that memory back up. 11 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only have lenses that go up to 300mm so I'm not going to get anything with great detail. I know of some folks in here with top-notch equipment that should try Something a little different for the photo of the day. I like the gritty area off Seaboard St and the views you can get.

I'd like to try 7th Street Station, but I tend to get bothered by security every time I take a camera out up there. They'll definitely shut me down if I get the tripod set up. On second thought, a quick trip to the mountains wouldn't hurt. Great vistas up there. Edited July 15, 2020 by PeytonC 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
