Norfolk Pictures

Nice of VB to say "hello" in the disctance.  The Westin really stands tall.

That is a cool shot, especially since it is two skylines. It is unfortunate that VB isn't actively turning all of Pembroke into a downtown because that skyline would look pretty big from this distance. I would love to see Norfolk gain something like 10-15 new residential towers in its skyline, that would really help bulk it up even more.

If Downtown got even one new residential tower in the near future I would be ecstatic. But it seems as though Norfolk and it's developers are content with mid-rise residential instead.

Mid-rise developments is at least something. The redevelopment of the land around Harbor Park would be a great location for an urban neighborhood with some residential towers and lots of mid rise buildings.

Looking at this particular photo, the new building by City Hall will fill in the skyline nicely, even better if it turns into a few new buildings by City Hall. Then of course if the Harbor Park area was developed, that would really add to that skyline view.

Both shot with my Bugs 3 drone  carrying a GoPro Hero 3.

Check that.  I actually used my cheaper Lightdow 4000 cam.  Not quite as clear as my GoPro

This is what drones are best for, love the shots.

Wider view showing a bit of Portsmouth.

Every time I go downtown, I’m amazed at how it feels more and more like a real city. Anyway, this is along Granby...Dominion Enterprises has started to light up its exterior.

Rented a bike yesterday evening as part of the new Pace program. I rode the Elizabeth River Trail into downtown and got a few shots...

I was in Norfolk this weekend for the Town Point Wine Festival and took these pictures of a very busy Downtown.

The SkyStar is going up quickly! I’ll try and get a shot in person tomorrow.

Isn't that the area where they had the outdoor concerts (Weezer)? If so, are there no plans for any concerts anymore?

[BFG]

I think you might be right. Here’s another angle to give a better idea.

They've got another stage by the piers. I would assume this means no multi-stage concerts, for the summer at least.

Just made a post about this in the Off-topic thread. Looks fantastic!

Forgot I had this picture which I took from the Amtrak Bus from Norfolk to Newport News a couple of weeks ago.

Definitely one of the most unique buildings in the area.
