This photograph captures one of the things I love most about Atlanta -- its up-ness. I have yet to experience another city so jostling, so elbow-to-elbow with its own image, with its head tilted to look into the high blue. I don't know the name of this building. It's right beside the Fox Theatre, just off of Peachtree. But on this spring day, with this limitless sky, it seemed as if it thought it just might make it to the top if it could just s-t-r-e-t-c-h another inch. That's Atlanta to me. Always after that extra inch.Tuesday, May 17, 2011

Yet another fine example of "it`s not what you look at,it`s what you see".
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting us all to tilt our heads back and look at the sky instead of our feet for a while. Feels good to stretch both the neck and the brain while taking in something we wouldn`t have seen without you Tina.
