The One and Only

While not in Atlanta proper, this KFC is one of the most well-known places in the Metro Atlanta area. This is the Big Chicken! The 56 foot chicken was designed by a Georgia Tech architecture student and built in 1956. It was nearly torn down after wind damage in the early 90s. However, public outcry resulted in it being rebuilt, including the moving beak (it opens and closes) and eyes (they go around in circles).

Reflections

I really liked the reflections of the clouds on this building. This is the Bank of Atlanta in Midtown. At the right time of day, with the sun setting across town, it's especially pretty.

Let it Snow . . .

It's rare for Atlanta to see snow. So, when it does you can bet on two things: 1) we're outside enjoying it and 2) staple food items will not be found in any grocery stores. :) I took this photo while driving, as seen by the blue tint on my windshield. Still, it's a decent enough picture of the Capitol dome in the snow.
