Charlotte, NC

This panoramic photograph was taken by James Blakeway and features a twilight view of downtown Charlotte. On the far right is Bank of America Stadium, home to the Carolina Panthers football team. Charlotte's tallest building is the 60-story Bank of America Corporate Center. To its left, with the flared top, is the 47-story Hearst Tower. At the far left, with its brightly-lit roof, is Odell Plaza. Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina and the number one tourist destination in the Carolinas. It has become a major American financial center and is an important service and distribution point for the Southeast.
