Two In Love
This statue stands just outside the main gardens of the Swan House. I see a couple happily in love, or else the guy is in a whole heap of trouble!

Swan House
This home is one of Atlanta's most photographed homes. The Swan House was built in 1928 for the Edward H. Inman family. The home was designed by Atlanta architect Philip Trammell Shutze. After the death of Mrs. Inman, the home and its ground were purchased by the Atlanta Historical Society.

Ooh . . . Shiny!
I snapped this photo headed into downtown during an evening rush hour. These buildings, a mix of office and residential, are located in Buckhead and made a very nice mirror for the sunset.
