My New Favorite City

I've always wanted to live in North Carolina, don't really have a particular reason of why - but I just love North Carolina. So when I took a girls weekend to Charlotte for some wedding shopping, I knew it was going to be fun times. I've been to Charlotte before, back in high school when we went to Carowinds. And at that particular time, Charlotte was ok, nothing to great - but then again, I was in high school so I wasn't really paying much attention to the city itself. But this time....I'm in love. I was dying to go downtown and take some pictures but we had VERY limited time...so limited I only had 20 minutes - which meant I only got about a block and half then had to book it. Here's a couple of shots I got within those quick 20 minutes. It so happened that the block we took was the one w/ the really old cemetery and park in the middle of downtown....


Amanda was my model for the day. I think this is a true city picture with the cityscape in the background. Plus I really love the typography of the ave. logo!




This was taken of a really old gate that opened the cemetery. I have a thing for rod iron fences.




A gravestone by itself. I love how the sun just hit on the gravestone while the trees shaded the ground around it.




This went on for about a block...very beautiful.




I love how the sunlight is hitting the stone of the wall. 




That water looked really good on a hot and humid day. 

As always, click on images for a better looksee.
