I was pleased to have this photo opportunity … a young girl running and jumping on the Green in Uptown Charlotte .. glad my camera has a high speed shutter. Notice the fish sculptures in the background.
This photo was taken at 435 South Tryon Street. Following is a link to the Wikipedia article about The Green.
Today we show a different perspective … looking down on a construction crane taken from the patio at the Fahrenheit Lounge on the top of the Skye Condos.
This photo was taken at 222 South Caldwell Street.
Our Saturday morning rituals include taking coffee to the Green (a park in front of our condo) and enjoying the activity. We always sit on a bench next to the fish sculptures and fountains. The reason is because they come with built in entertainment. Watching the children play is a joy and this Saturday there was a wedding at Saint Peters Catholic Church next to the fountains. In the background of this photo you can see one of those attending in a very colorful dress.

The good morning special at Dean and Deluca in Uptown Charlotte was French Toast and bacon. And the gentleman behind the sign skillfully and graciously prepares our breakfast every Saturday. We always order bagel sandwiches but the special was very appealing. But what caught my eye was the #goodmorning hashtag (smile).
This photo was taken at 201 South Tryon Street. Following is a link to the Dean and Deluca website.
At first I thought these driggers caution cones said danger … however after googling the word I think Driggers is the name of company. Possibly Driggers Electric & Control CO. This photo was taken at 500 South College Street in Uptown Charlotte.
Recently we meet this family attempting a selfie. I suggested they pose for a photo while I took it with my larger camera. Several photos were taken and shared with them. And this one is shared with you.
This photo was taken at the intersection of College Street and 3rd street in Uptown Charlotte.
I have not found a name for this piece of art so we call it hanging out at One Wells Fargo plaza in Uptown Charlotte … wish I knew who the artist was.
This photo was taken near One Wells Fargo Center. Following is a link to previously posted photos of hanging out.
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 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
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.
Great literature is honored in a small Uptown park called the Green. On one end there are two art works in the from of books stacked two stories high … if you look at it another way you could say the books are stacked 15 stories high (smile) … so two stories are literal while 15 stories are literary.
While we strolled through Uptown this weekend I stopped to take this photo of a fountain at One Wells Fargo plaza. Given summer is in full swing and the temperature regularly hits 90+ degrees Fahrenheit there is a good chance we will be stopping to take photos of more fountains (smile).
This photo was taken at 301 South College Street. Note the 90 Fahrenheit is 32.222 degrees Celsius and I also found that one should capitalize references to temperature scales, whether written out or abbreviated.
We went for a walk Sunday morning and noticed backpacks everywhere. There were so many that we asked what was up and these guys they said they were attending a mystery convention … then they smiled and said there were geeks (smile). I assume their backpacks were full of cards or comic books which they traded. I have googled the subject but have not found the name of the event or a website. But we can attest it was well attended given we saw several hundred people with backpacks headed to the Convention Center.
Recently we shared a photo of the First Baptist Church as seen looking down from above. Today we are sharing the view from the First Baptist Church. A twist in perspectives.
Following is the previous photo of the First Baptist Church. The address is: 301 S Davidson Street and following is a link to their website.
Recently I took this photo of a couple enjoying the view of Uptown Charlotte. I thought they made a good follow-up to the bridal photo shoot shared yesterday. Better yet I’ll will an eye out for a family with children or a mature couple holding hands as they stroll. There are all sorts of follow-up photos for a bridal photo shoot (smile).
This photo was taken at the Fahrenheit rooftop lounge at 222 South Caldwell Street in Uptown Charlotte.
The Ratcliffe in the evening sun is especially appealing. Love the windows and the architecture of the building.
