Several office buildings in the center city offer protected areas like this for dining and relaxing. The red paved streets also are lined with trees and an ample supply of benches. A very beautiful and welcoming city.
Great shot. Your entire Charlotte Gallery is very nice. I'm from there too and was checking it out for photo ideas. I want to do a shoot miday on Saturday (during the harshest sun). So I thought an indoor location would be best!
