Atlanta, GA

Downtown Atlanta in 2002. I used a Canon EOS film camera (probably the Elan 7E) and a EF 20mm f/2.8 lens.

Shot on Fuji Provia (RDP III) slide film.

One Saturday morning in late June I decided to try out my new DSLR on one of the shaded streets in this beautiful area. If you click on the set to the right and run the SLIDESHOW in Full Screen Mode you can follow me up and down this street and get an idea of the architecture of the area.

 

"Druid Hills is an upper-class neighborhood east of Midtown, Atlanta, in DeKalb County, Georgia. The planned community was initially conceived by Joel Hurt, and developed with the effort of Atlanta's leading families, including Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler. It contains some of Atlanta's historic mansions from the late 19th and early 20th Century. Druid Hills includes the main campus of Emory University, which relocated to Atlanta in 1914. Ponce de Leon Avenue bi-sects the community.

 

Druid Hills was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and was one of his last commissions. A showpiece of the design was the string of parks along Ponce de Leon Avenue, designated as Druid Hills Parks and Parkways and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 1975."

 

Some find it hard to believe that this magnificent urban neighborhood was conceived and executed as one of Atlanta’s first suburbs. Yet it remains today essentially unchanged and was recently described by the U.S. Department of the Interior to be "significant as the finest example of late 19th and early 20th century comprehensive planning and development in the Atlanta area, and one of the finest period suburbs in the Southeast."

 

There is a beautifully done Tour of Homes and Gardens each April during the peak bloomtime for the thousands of dogwoods and azaleas that fill the neighborhood. Here are some links:

From the Jackson Street Bridge (the most photographed scene in ATL).

While we were in Atlanta we went to the zoo to see the pandas. They are behind a thick glass, and really don't move around much. This one was eating bamboo the whole time we were there.

 

We have also seen the pandas in Washington DC. Would like to someday go visit my daughter-in-laws hometown which is near the area in China where the pandas can be found in the wild.

Hadn't had a chance to take any pictures in Atlanta since I moved here, but inspired by another night time Atlanta shot I found a great place only 2 blocks from my office and captured this one. Atlanta truly is electric.

Downtown Atlanta 1 am. After a long drive from Davenport Iowa. We arrived at the downtown Hilton and they gave us a key to an occupied room Can you imagine the poor people we woke up walking into their room, we got it fixed and this is from the balcony.

"Although he doesn't play competitive basketball anymore, basketball is still a big part of his life. He had just given a speech on education and college affordability at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, and when we passed through the gym on the way back to the motorcade, he took a few minutes to try and drain some three-point shots."

For those who still don’t know why their view count is down, perhaps way down, the reason is explained and discussed in the link below. One day Flickr staff may figure out the solution, but I’m not holding my breath. All I know is that my view count is way down and the hits I get are often for much older photos in my stream. To read about the problems, which also include contacts' photos not showing up, your photos not showing up in your contacts' photo page, loss of ability to add descriptions, etc., please go to the link below and add your comment so that flickr becomes even more aware that its members are not happy with the way things are going.
