Reminded me of an area in Boston, but totally not in Boston. How about a section for user suggestions? :-D

You truly are a magician to be able to make Raleigh look this great. But, your true test will be taking shots of the new Marriott when complete and making it look good. When you pull that off you will have achieved legend status. Thanks for that great website. Flash, great shots as usual. You truly are a magician to be able to make Raleigh look this great.

I have been visiting here for awhile. They just keep getting better. I would love to see some other images from around the city...like North Hills area, Highwoods, Crabtree, and Triangle Town. I bet you could capture some great shots there. In fact, you should just rename the web site to "AroundRaleigh.Com" and like Nike says...."Just Do It"! Thanks again man! Dude…You have talent! I have been visiting here for awhile. They just keep getting better.

With these photos there is sure to be an increase in the population and this is only one part of this beautiful city. Can you get a night shot of the sixth photo (almost the best skyline angle)? Thanks for the link you gave with the shots of NYC. You reinvent Raleigh with every shot you take.

The space between the new convention center and the county jail deserves a nice 700ft+ tower. Anything less than that would be a waste of space.

I would love to use some of these as my desktop wallpaper. Oh that reminds me, would it be possible to get a few shots from each week blown up to 1600×1200 resolution?

So much to talk about in this one. For the "could be the best skyline angle" shot, were you standing in the middle of the street with a beamer flying at you? Sun gleaming off Wachovia building makes the facade look like water. One of my favorites of all time on this site. The deep blue shot from Boylan and the cardinal really connected with my mood too.

Something huge should go into those empty lots. The skyline just looks so empty between the RBC and the Wachovia Bldg.

Seriously, each and every image is simply outstanding, and even though Raleigh lacks a good number of high-rises and the skyline is poor, you manage to impress us. The new camera must have overheated already :LOL: Matt, you are the ONLY person I now who can make Raleigh shine, no matter what camera you have, or when you take the photos.
