On Sunday, I had planned to walk around Buckhead photographing some of the ongoing construction, but with rain in the forecast and scheduled to arrive by late morning, I settled for a windshield tour heading south on Peachtree Rd through Buckhead and finishing in Midtown.

You never fail us Randy! Absolutely beautiful shots. Austin is growing like a weed!

The "glimpse of the skyline from Chamblee" shot is from my 'hood - you were only about a mile from me! (Actually thats Brookhaven - you were technically between Chamblee & Buckhead, fwiw).

Thanks for the correction John. I edited the caption to say Brookhaven now. I started snapping pics in Chamblee (none turned out well enough to post) and forgot where I was when that particular photo was shot. I've now pinpointed the location on a map (Peachtree Rd at Osborne Rd), and that's definitely Brookhaven, not Chamblee (the fence on the right is for Brookhaven Park). ;)

Just as good, if not better, than your other photo thread. I have high expectations for you now. :D

Love how you included shots of construction on Twelve Centennial Park as well.

I've seen a lot of good photo threads of Atlanta on here, but this one is the best!!!

You're too kind Pillsbury Doughboy...thanks! I actually thought my 5-part series last July was better than this 2-parter. The weather was much better, and I had more time to spend shooting pics and, therefore, covered many more areas of Atlanta. If you missed those pics, here's the album at PBase:
