Cellphone Photography: TKE Elevator Test Tower Construction on a Misty Night

Here are some cool photos I took using my Samsung Galaxy S21FE smartphone camera. It was a foggy night and the lights were playing just right on a local construction site. This is the Thyssen Krupp Elevator (TKE) headquarters in Cobb County, Georgia, back when it was under construction.

The TKE test tower has grown into the tallest building in the Atlanta suburb of Cobb County, Georgia. It stands 420-feet high and is the largest elevator testing facility in the United States. It has 18 elevator shafts for testing and demonstrating TKE's state of the art products. It is the centerpiece of TKE's North American headquarters. On one foggy night back in 2021, I was able to get some cool photos of the facility as it was being built.

The adjacent building serves as the company's North American headquarters. It was eerily lit when I took these photos.

Urban Photo: Sunset over Cobb County, Georgia

Sunday, May 3rd, was a wonderful spring day in Cobb County, Georgia. On an 80-degree plus day, people weren't going to stay cooped up by the Covid virus. They made their way out to see the Blue Angels flyover and start returning to restaurants.

Due to medical risks, I'm not ready to mingle with the crowds, but I was ready to get out of the house. We drove around a bit and got food from various drive thru window restaurants.  The day was capped by a beautiful sunset.
