Beautiful photo rickydavisfan! Did you take that?

Mobuchu · May 17th, 2011, 03:25 PM

Great pic! And I love that they cropped it to keep the Mtns in the foreground, beautiful.

Mobuchu · May 17th, 2011, 04:45 PM

Well lets keep it going...

From the insane lightning storm we had around 1am last Wednesday morning. It went on for about 30min, and had to be one of the craziest light shows I've ever seen!

After looking at the picture again, I'd have to say, he's right.
However, why is that such a bad thing...? Look at ANY city, chances are, majority of the buildings will be "boxy." lol...Not everything can be cylinders and pyramids

If Asian cities can get away from "boxy" buildings, why cant we? Look at Dubai...good example.

Aside from a couple 30-40 year old talls, the only 'boxy' skyscraper in Charlotte is a recent condo tower. The others either have crowns and spires with finials, or a tapering top. The Duke Energy tower reminds me very much of something you'd see in Dubai.

The Duke Energy HQ is an amazing addition to the skyline. I almost think it may be the best new skyscraper in the Southeast in the past 10 years...but, of course, that field is very crowded...there have been so many great skyscrapers built in the SE in the past 10 years.

very pretty shots.

If anyone watches Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC at 8PM weeknights...have you noticed that they are using the Charlotte skyline as the background for the past two nights?
