    You know I lived in Atlanta for 25 years, Doug. Before we moved there from Madison, Wisconsin, a friend was telling us to NOT think about the KKK and the Deep South but of fabulous, cutting-edge architecture. She was right. It all still amazes me whenever I go back.

    Great perspective of the clean lines in this design. It looks like a ghost against the blue sky.

    I like it when the city planners go for contemporary, rather than old pastiche. It's a cool and elegant (thanks to your pic) piece of architecture.
