Architectural Wanderings: An early Sunday morning in downtown Winston-Salem, Part 1
I recently spent a couple of hours early on a Sunday morning strolling around downtown Winston Salem to scout out some buildings that I’d like to shoot in more detail, and just to get my bearings of the city. I only managed to cover part of downtown, so will do a Part 2 walk the next time I’m there. For now, here’s some favorites from my visit:
Center: The Wells Fargo Center, designed by César Pelli.

That’s all for now. I hope you enjoyed the photos, and look out for the next blog soon!
