Atlanta Photo of the Day

[ironchapman]

I love that picture Martiman. The city lights up so well and the sky is absolutely beautiful in that pic. It looks so cosmopolitan. I wonder where it was taken from (a helicopter, the top of One Atlantic Center, somewhere else?)

I posted this earlier, but it got no or very little attention.

Here's one for today:

^Sorry I missed that one, IC!

Great shot! I really like the use of the leaves in the picture.

Thanks! I took that one from my car as I was coming home from Savannah (my family stopped at the Varsity to eat). It turned out pretty good considering the fact that it was almost dark and I didn't use long exposure.

Hey... were those words printed on top of a building or billboard?

Yep, Atlanta's Equitable Building

It's a box, but I like it.

Oh ok... nothings wrong with a good ol' boxy building... that's basically all we have.

I used to work in the Equitable Building and still have a soft spot for it. My office had a terric view across Woodruff Park and north along Peachtree.

The Equitable a classic SOM building from the 1960's -- there are some further comments about it and links here.

That is an excellent ATL collection show many of the best areas of the city. Good photographic eye also.

Impressive job finding the photo, NCB! It's so interesting to see such old pictures of Atlanta (especially the pre-Sherman ones).

Good ole' Google!

I agree that it is very interesting to see old photos of Atlanta. Atlanta has changed so much through the years that photos from as late as the 70's can make it look like an entirely different city.

I'm sure that everyone has seen this one before, but oh well.

One of my three favorite buildings in the South.

Kind of bare there, isn't it? C'mon we need to fill that up!

[Hotlanta]

Found this kind of interesting! Atlanta with snow (or ice).

I love this photo thread. It really highlights the beauty of the Farlie-Poplar district. This guy should get paid for this stuff.

You'd think you were in some city like San Francisco or Chicago that actually has streetlife with a trip to Fairlie Poplar.

I really should get the pics I took there posted.

Here are some photos from my trip intown on Tuesday:

Progress on Central City Condos:

A townhome project we're doing in Decatur:

Decatur is serious about underground stormwater detention:

And my favorite new development in town, Glenwood Park:

What will become of this property (below) now that GP is moving along nicely?

Hope you all enjoy!

Your pictures of Glenwood Park have piqued my curiousity. I need to go down there and see it. Great photos!

[NCB]

Great pictures, Newman Eric!

Here are some great ones from our very own wide-as-heck interstates.
