Atlanta. La capital del Sur. Un skyline modestito, nada que ver con Nueva York o Chicago, pero tiene su cosa.

Standing 19 feet tall and clutching a giant hot dog, this Paul "Bunyon" statue, is one of Route 66’s mythic Muffler Man Statues.

Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack in American and Canadian folklore. His exploits revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bunyan)

During the heydays of Rt 66, travellers passed hundreds of signs, murals and other forms of roadside advertising. Among the more famous stood the fiberglass giants created during the 1960s by International Fiberglass of Venice, California.

In 1965 one of these giants was placed in front of a restaurant on Rt 66 in Cicero, Illinois, and the original axe was swapped for a hot dog. After this place closed, thanks to the Illinois Route 66 Association, this giant has been moved in 2003 to Atlanta, as a route 66 icon.

Overnight and this morning nice light flakes have covered everything. Very beautiful. Here is the muscadine vine. Maybe more snow throughout the day today.

This picture was taken at the Atlanta Zoo. They are Meerkats.

I don't go to downtown Atlanta very often now that I live in the burbs, but had the chance last night. You might recognize this scene from the Walking Dead series...

Have never toured this location but visited the previous "museum" at Underground Atlanta. Would not say I found it that interesting or worth the price of admittance. It is mainly a non-stop advertisement for COKE, so the tour should probably be free. As many people say, the most interesting part of the museum is the sampling room where you can try samples of soft drinks COKE makes that are sold in other countries. It's said the first COKE was sold in an Atlanta pharmacy in 1886 and first bottled in 1894. COKE has to rank among the most significant things associated with Atlanta.

The old ACL Bellwood Yard was still used by CSX for some local freight, not sure what has come of it these days. April 2005.

My son Eric photographing the 'thing' in the middle of the fountain, just inside the courtyard, after entering the building. And me? Trying out a new WIDE lens.

This side of the former Concordia Hall has an alligator mural painted by Belgian artist ROA, whose urban murals usually feature animals local to the region, rendered in black and white.

This building (originally Concordia Hall, built by a Jewish cultural association) is part of a historic district in Atlanta called Hotel Row. It was probably at one time a hotel, but I don't know if the "Star Hotel" sign is an actual sign from the building's earlier days or an artistic flourish. I can't find any reference to a "Star Hotel" at this location.

The lyre above the door on the right was the symbol of the Concordia Association.

Atlanta Skyline from Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia

Atlanta

We always stop in Atlanta on our way up to the Carolina's to see family. I have always wanted to get this shot at Piedmont Park in Downtown Atlanta. My husband has been against my going over there as it has a high crime rate at night. On this particular weekend it was crowded with an event so we thought we would go early and see how it went. The park was very crowded...there were only two other photographers at the small lake (they did not stay long). I got a few shots and we headed back to the parking area. I will admit I was glad when we finally reached the car. This park is beautful during day but it does have a strange feeling at night.
