Atlanta Skylines from a new vantage point.

Not the best sunlight conditions due to the overcast but i couldn't pass up the one time opportunity for these;

Great photos, Joe! It's interesting to see the city from a new angle.

Just wondering, how did you get up there to that vantage point? Once spring hits and the grass turns green that would be a gorgeous picture.

The skyline looks nice but that GWCC area between the Dome & Philips is incredibly dismal and it's not just the brown grass. Instead of those stupid useless derricks, why not trees? It would be nice if COP had "fingers" that reached out into other areas of downtown with tree filled pedestrian walkways, this would be a great candidate.

I know a convention center is more function than form but holy cow, I've seen better looking buildings on closed/abandoned military bases than the concrete bunker of GWCC.
