Wow

@Marriott-it looks like you are staring up into the rib cage of the skeleton of a giant. Really cool

Excellent collection!

Has anyone ever taken photos from those insane skywalks at the Peachtree Center?


Great, another park devoted to afternoon naps. Might as well replace the benches with cots.

The first time I've seen the Atlanta skyline not spread across the landscape.

Very Nice !!!!
Great Shots that do indeed focus on the architecture of Downtown Atlanta buildings. I love the Hurt Building. I love your pic of the entrance to the Candler Building (Pic #8).

I wish the city could have maintained more of its older Downtown structures - like Terminal Station, Union Station and the Piedmont Hotel which was located at Peachtree/Luckie/Auburn intersection and across the street from the Flat Iron Building and the Candler Building. There sure were three good looking buildings on that corner. Replacing the Piedmont Hotel in the late 1960s was the plain-Jane Equitable Building which really broke up the building and street aesthetic of the area.
