I recently spent the day in Atlanta on 4/14/12. The weather was glorious and the park was very crowded so I decided to take a stroll and shoot a few pictures. All of these images are mine.
Very nice, looks much like that of Central Park of New York with high-rise on the boarder of the park. Atlanta really looks up to New York and it shows.

Atlanta is like a post modern New York without extreme density. Plus it isn't by the coast.

Thanks for the pics!
Piedmont Park also has a lot of areas not captured in these pictures, including a wetlands trail, interactive fountains, a carousel, dog parks, and tennis courts.
We were passing through Atlanta this day and were in the park the same time you were! I carefully looked through your photos to see if I recognized any familiar scene, but didn't make a connection with any. It was just as beautiful as your pictures portray!
Piedmont Park was redesigned by the Olmsted Brothers in 1903, or something like that. It fell into major disrepair for a few decades, and then the Conservancy was formed and has since injected something like $80-90M into the park in the last 20 years. I live in a highrise (which you can't see) a few blocks away. The park is also ringed by mid-rises of 5-10 floors, which you can't see because of the trees. It's probably the only place in the south that is truly "big city". Atlanta also has several other equally impressive parks - Centennial Olympic, Grant, Chastain, Old Fourth Ward, heck even Stone Mountain out in the burbs. I feel fortunate to live here. Thanks for the photos!
Please post some photos of the area around (but outside of) the Park.
PS: this beautiful woman has a great, curvey bod. Her legs, hips, and butt look delicious. Also, she appears to be going commando, or she's wearing a micro thong.
