Charlotte, North Carolina at night

Photo courtesy of Wendall Nunn. I have driven through the city of Charlotte, North Carolina on numerous occasions, and I always enjoy looking at her beautiful skyline as I drive past the downtown area on Interstate 77. Charlotte might not be New York, Los Angeles, or even Atlanta, but she is the largest city in the state of North Carolina, and the skyscrapers that are so prominent from the nearby Interstate are nothing short of spectacular! In today's picture, photographer Wendall Nunn has managed to capture every bit of the abundant beauty and charm that the "Queen City" exudes after the sun goes down and the lights come on. The following is Mr. Nunn's story behind his amazing image: "I have always liked the way downtown Charlotte looks while driving by, especially at night. I drove around for quite a while trying to find a clean shot of the skyline without buildings and power lines. I finally found this spot one night and managed to get a good shot. Panthers Stadium is only a mile or so around the curve after you pass the city. Thanks for looking at my picture, and I hope you enjoy it."    --Wendall Nunn   Visitor Comments...
