Charlotte Photo of the Day

^Very nice shot. I agree with some of the criticisms of the Vue's awkward position in the skyline, but it should look great from this vantage point once completed.

[krazeeboi]

^Awkward? I disagree. It will help to give the skyline more of an east-west orientation as most of the towers dominating the skyline are positioned on a north-south axis. I also like the fact that from some angles (including the one in the previous picture; the perspective from Bryant Park is another), the Vue will fill space between the core of the skyline and the O'Dell building.

I figure some of you will get a kick out of this...

It starts coming up Independence Blvd. and does a tour around downtown - even makes a quick stop at Carowinds Blvd. toward the end. Enjoy reminiscing!

So, anyone know the history behind this wonderful (mausoleum?) building in Oaklawn Cemetary?

Wow... simply amazing skyline shot!

[krazeeboi]

^Thanks. Wells Fargo will definitely be the most prominent tower in the skyline from this angle.

Yeah but it adds so much depth from that perspective too, with Wach sticking significantly over the taller BofA. Once Vue is up and you have the tallest 4 towers at different depths, it's going to add a lot pf dimension.

That's a great shot krazee! Shows how lonely the Vue is going to be until we get some density down that way. Which unfortunately won't be for awhile considering there are so many newer low rises, a cemetery, church property, and green-space between it, Avenue, and Trademark.

Here is a shot I took a week or so ago from a unit in 230 S Tryon:

I love the color of Avenue and the density from this angle.

Other than the wires, I would have sworn this was a Pontiac ad photo . Cool though.

Thanks aussie. Bryant Park provides one of the best skyline views in the city.

Today's contribution from me:

Haha, I love it! My friend said it should be a car ad as well.

krazee, that view is going to be awesome once 1BoAc is finished.

[krazeeboi]

^It sure will.

As much as we love BOACC and Hearst, BOA Plaza is still a significant player in the skyline.

Haven't put up a construction photo in awhile.

Nice shot! Kind of trippy.

I love the color of Avenue and the density from this angle.

The Avenue's dazzling hue continues to impress.

Yes it does. Here's one I shot today.
