Unseen Atlanta Part 1

Atlanta 2011 Recap Part 1

Prepare to be inundated for the rest of the year! Hopefully this will be Atlanta like you have never seen. Trying to capture the city for exactly what it is – a large, southern metropolis transitioning to something more urban/cosmopolitan. Some photos taken with an old point and shoot.

Thanks everybody! More to come next week.

101 is a US Penitentiary in SE Atlanta near Lakewood Amphitheater. I'll post a couple more shots of it in my next threads. It's a beautiful building, but they really yell at you if you come on property and take pictures! Type in US Penitentiary in Google Images for postcard pictures of it...it's like Leavenworth...beauty on the outside, crooks on the inside. Can't think of any other prisons quite like those two that were built to such high standards.

LSyd:

Just did some research...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...tiary,_Atlanta

Bernie Madoff, Michael Vick, Big Meech, the real life Goodfellas character, Carlo Ponzi, John Gotti, Al Capone, and the real life "Catch Me If You Can" guy are/were all houses here!!

Thanks for the pictures!

Very nice colours and diversity. I have liked the pictures with snow, and in Fall too.

Great skyline photos!

Congratulations and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Very cool to see the varying viewpoints of your shots....and you captured the human element and the wackiness of the ATL too.
Cheers!
