That's it!

Nice photos. So how do you get up to these places? I can't even take photos from the sidewalk of BofA without getting chased by security.

Is that Grandfather mountain I see beside Trademark.... I'm thinking the one south west in the duke energy (Old Wachovia) tower picture is king mnt.

If thats grandfather then holy crap..... thats like looking from my one home to my other even though they are over 100 miles away. Shots are gorgeous.

That is actually Crowder's Mountain..about 25 miles away..It is almost impossible to see Grandfather from Charlotte. It is too far..Now with low humidity, and a telescope, you would be able to see it..however, it is not visable with the naked eye..There are a few mountain ranges in front of it..Such as the South Mountains just north of Shelby, and the start of the BLue Ridge..You wouldn't be able to pick out Grandfather by itself.
