Woah, where was this taken? I love the colors in this, they remind me of the Hong Kong skyline photos or older NYC photography. Great shot!

Thank you for the kind words. I took this from my balcony at Novel Stonewall Station.

After being in Austin, Houston, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Biloxi, Mobile, Atlanta I am back home.  so yes these are drive by as I dont recommend walking along any major freeway or highway in the city.   Today.  

WOW has the Lowes tower grown in my absence.  Maybe I missed this is it topped out or how much further? 

[KJHburg]

forgot these photos.  Looking great in the sunshine after Zeta rolled through.  To think most of these buildings did not even exist 5 years ago.

its almost topped out. Really just a horizontal beam away. The tallest part of the building is at the front corner facing uptown, which is why the beams are taller on the left than then right.

Got these screen grabs from the Thursday Night Football pre-game broadcast in which former Panthers WR Muhsin Muhammad drives around the city that he calls “the best kept secret in the South.”

This isn't a photo but it is a brilliantly edited drone video of uptown at night. I highly recommend watching with sound on.

Man, city looked big time in that video...that guy does a great job with his city drone videos.  LU's crown looks fantastic at night...can't wait for Ally to be lit up as well.  Someone mentioned in another thread that a lot of towers have been off lately.  Jukebox (being a top 5 tower for height) would really add to things if it was lit up.  Does it even have a lighting scheme?  I thought the curved atrium thing up there was a least lit at night from the inside.

Southend and Uptown from up high.  Today and our skyline is truly one of the best in the country.

One First Union, NCNB Plaza, Nationsbank Corporate Center, or the building now known as the HQ of Truist.  Which has your vote this Election Day?

And what a glorious day it is. Randolph Road near Laurel is this marker

And one block away is this view atop the new Novant cancer and heart building parking structure

McMullen Creek kinda got in my backyard.  It’s usually knee deep and five feet below the bank on the lower end of my property.  It looked like the Catawba during Charlotte’s flooding this week.

Cover picture in The Charlotte Agenda.  I think they're trying to aggravate people in this forum.
