I started my visit in Ballantyne where three giant bulls are lying on the grass. They are sort of scary but interesting, so I watched for awhile and decided to move in closer.
The bench seemed like a safe distance to watch and eventually I decided to move in and introduce myself.
Once I got close, I found them to be very friendly.
Heading to uptown Charlotte, I needed to find a parking place.
Heading down the street, I discovered that Charlotte is a beautiful city. The views down the street and between the buildings are beautiful. With all of the nice fountains, I feel relaxed just being here!
It's lunch time and I'm hungry. Hmm...maybe seafood!
With all the benches along the street, I can take a nice rest and watch the traffic go by.
Charlotte definitely has culture and art. There's an example right on the sidewalk! That thing is huge! I wonder if it is safe for rubber balls?
Hey, this is fun. Art and exercise!
I'm headed off in search of more culture.
Am I art or am I function?
Ok, now I am inspired and I think I will take in a museum. Maybe I could be one of the displays. After all, I am a work of art.
I ended my first trip checking out the Methodist Church. It's a beautiful building. I think with my red color, I look pretty good against the stone.
Hopefully, I will get a chance to see more of the city. If I do, I will definitely get some snapshots and keep everyone updated. Time for me to roll on out of here.
