edifice construction

Posted on July 15, 2015 by Denton Harryman

I took this photo because the blue will add color to our photo blog and because of the sign which you can see says edifice … with a little research it is easy to surmise that this is an edifice construction site. Now I understand the Edifice Inc. is the name of the company constructing this building … but some additional research finds that the definition of edifice is: “a building, especially a large, imposing one”.

This photo was taken near the intersection of the Charlotte Rail Trail and West Bland Street. Following is a link to the Edifice Inc. website.

A two story gazebo in the Two Wells Fargo plaza in Uptown Charlotte … actually we are not certain if this qualifies to be called a gazebo but I cannot come up with another description for the structure. Let us know what you think.

This photo was taken at 301 South Tryon Street.

Two Wells Fargo plaza

Posted on July 12, 2015 by Denton Harryman

Two Wells Fargo plaza is an enjoyable public space in Uptown Charlotte. In addition to the fountain there are also tables and a two story gazebo. This time of year I especially enjoy that the gazebo has fans … Connie and I discussed what to call the gazebo and even brought up Google street view … I’ll have to post a picture and ask you thoughts.

This photo was taken at 301 South Tryon Street and this is a street view of the gazebo

Today photo shows the construction at 300 South Tryon the heart of Uptown Charlotte … this construction site is across the street from the office building where I work and the buildings in the background are apartments next the Romare Bearden Park.

This photo was taken at 300 South Tryon. The building in the background is called the Catlyst. We have shown the apartments near Romare Bearden Park in this previous post.

Jogging in the Southend with Uptown Charlotte in the background … well at least taking photos of joggers.

hexpong

This hexpong table can be found at the Bland Station on the light rail. This, along with other colorful touches removes the bland from the Bland Station (smile). A plaque explains that it is called #HEXPONG and 2-6 can play. Balls and Paddles are provided.

This photo was taken at the Bland Station in the Southend near Uptown Charlotte.

Tesla

Posted on July 6, 2015 by Denton Harryman

Maybe in 2017, when the Telsa model III is releases, we will buy one of these. I understand they are targeting a more affordable price point. My daughter says I will not be happy with an “affordable” Tesla given the luxury will be missing. But mainly I’m interested in the plugin technology. So I’m holding off to buy our next car until 2017.

As for the photo. I like the reflection and the Tesla logo. This photo was taken in Uptown Charlotte near 550 South Tryon Street. The reflection shows the Duke Energy Center which we have shared photos of before.

Charlotte Art League Gallery

While on a walk though the Southend I took this photo of the Charlotte Art League gallery. Of special interest is the Summer Art Camp for kids and teens.

b-cycle green guy

Posted on July 3, 2015 by Denton Harryman

A b-cycle green guy shuttling bicycles between stations in Uptown Charlotte. There website says “Charlotte b-cycle is one of the largest urban bike sharing systems in the Southeast. With 200 blue bikes and 24 stations strategically placed throughout Uptown and surrounding neighborhoods”. The way it works is that with a membership you can select a bike, ride for 30 minutes, check it in, and repeat. The stations are no more than 30 minutes apart so you can ride throughout Uptown Charlotte.

This photo was taken at The Green near where we live.

u-fix-it

While on a stroll along the rail trail in the Southend I noticed this u-fix-it station … then on the walk back it was in use by batman … very cool.

theme day is upside down

Posted on July 1, 2015 by Denton Harryman

Theme day is upside down this month .. literally and figuratively. Our literal contribution is this photo of chairs turned upside down so the floor can be moped. Check out yesterday’s post to see my figurative interpretation. Actually, I found this theme difficult because there are not many things upside down in my life (smile).

Follow this link to enjoy interpretations of the theme from around the world … July 2015 Gallery – Upside Down.

This photo was taken at one of the restaurants on East Boulevard in historic Dilworth near uptown Charlotte.

Uptown Charlotte

Posted on June 30, 2015 by Denton Harryman

Is Uptown the upside down version of downtown? I ask because tomorrow is theme day in the City Daily Photo community and upside down is the theme. I chose to go with a more literal interpretation of the theme but it is always fun to see the different interpretations. Join us tomorrow for an upside down tour of the world.

This photo was taken on the South Tryon Street overpass crossing Interstate 277. The City Daily Photo theme day can be found at July 2015 gallery – upside down.

Phat Burrito

Posted on June 29, 2015 by Denton Harryman

Phat Burrito is one of my favorite places … when my wife is out of town (smile) … actually I may be able to get her to try the breakfast burrito. Also, note that they have a really cool t-shirt which says iPhat.

The photo was taken at 1537 Camden Road. The Phat Burrito facebook page is here.

colorful parking garage

Posted on June 28, 2015 by Denton Harryman

This colorful parking garage caught my eye recently and so we are sharing a photo with you. Actually Charlotte has several interesting parking garages which make for good photo opportunities. However they don’t catch my attention given we mostly walk … my reason for noticing this parking garage is that it is next to the 7th Street Public Market where everything from fresh produce to wine and good food can be found.

This photo was taken near 224 E 7th Street and following is a link to the 7th Street Public Market.
