Photo: A New Perspective on A Garden Statue

Over the years I've taken many a photo of this classical garden statue in many different seasons.  Recently, I snapped this one from a different perspective.  It makes for an interesting composition.

Photo: Viva La France from Atlanta's Millennium Gate Museum

With the recent terror attacks in France fresh in our minds, it was neat to see Atlanta's Millennium Arch sporting the French Flag on Christmas Day.  While it's no Arc d'Triomphe, this arch is an interesting addition to Atlanta's Atlantic Station street scene.

I did not realize it, but the arch is actually the home of the Millennium Gate Museum which houses exhibits on Georgia History and Art.  There appears to be a lower level below the arch which houses many of the exhibits.

Photo: `Old Truck Behind The Service Station

I snapped this quick picture of a vintage pickup truck behind my local service station.  It's an interesting old truck---probably a 1950s Chevy.  To me, it looks like the truck that may have inspired the modern Chevy SSR sports truck.

I like this photograph because it shows the color of the truck really well and the old brick walls of the gas station make it look all that much better.  I cropped it down to a square 1:1 photo to get some newer vehicles out of the frame.  They were harshing my mellow!

Emerging Mushrooms

There's a little stretch of woods behind our apartment building.  But, even little patches of woods can hold wonders for the observant!  I took this picture with the Open Camera app on my cellphone.

 These are just one example of how you can find interesting things to photograph close to home.

Autrey Mill Nature Reserve Residents

The Autrey Mill Nature Preserve boasts hiking trails and rustic buildings.  But, we found these two ducks to be most vocal ambassadors for the place.  We were there on a quiet day and they were very happy to see us.

Old Farmhouse at Autrey Mill Nature Preserve

My wife and I discovered an interesting park in the northern Atlanta suburb of Johns Creek.  It's called the Autrey Mill Nature Preserve.

Photo: Trees Waiting for Winter

I took this photo with my phone a few days ago.  I'd call it a fall photograph, but the wind and the rain have already taken most of the leaves.  Instead, we have nearly bare trees on a sunny day in late November.  They are just waiting for winter's chill to set in!
