These pics are GREAT Matt! Glad you were able to catch the clouds and the way the sun was hitting the RBC Plaza…NICE!
I was thinking… just an idea: Have you been to the Bojangles on exit 319 off I40? That might make for a different skyline view or angle?!

WOW! GREAT PICS MATT! I was thinking, have you ever captured the skyline from the Bojangles on exit 319 (Clayton/Angier) off 40?!

I didn’t know you could see the skyline from there….I’m here in Clayton Township and I guess I should check that out.
