Atlanta: Scout it Out...
Georgia on my mind....
I am getting ready to go back home to visit family & friends in a few weeks- YAY!!! So I decided to look through my pics from the last visit & was horrified to see I only took 20 pics the entire week and a half we were there!! How did that happen? I have maybe four or five nice shots of family but everything else was crap...
Not this time around!
I decided to scout out a few locations- don't laugh, just b/c I'm from the land of peaches & cream doesn't mean I can't act like a tourist when I want! I am scouring the net, mostly Flickr & Panoramio to find locations that I wouldn't normally think of or that I have no idea even exists. Atlanta is a big place, and I only lived in the city proper for 4 years, hardly long enough to know it all!
