Snow and Ice in Atlanta 2014

A late January 2014 snow storm paralyzed the Atlanta Metro area.  Even though there was only about 2 inches of snow, the highways were untreated and quickly turned to ice.  It made for very scary driving and gridlock.  Twenty minute commutes turned into six hour ordeals.  Many people were trapped on highways or in their cars.  Some were stuck in their cars for up to 20 hours.  It was truly horrible.

Liberty Bell Replica in Marietta Georgia

The cityscape of your town can provide ample opportunities to compose a nice photograph.  I was able to use this replica of the Liberty Bell on Marietta Square to frame an old-style public clock and draw attention to a more modern public clock.
