Reflections of Atlanta


We had a very early start this morning with a taxi at 6am and our flight to Atlanta at 8.15.  Fortunately on arrival we were able to check in to the hotel and we set off to explore.  However the heavens opened and so we sheltered in a bar and this photo of the flooded street and (faint) reflection of the green traffic light was taken through the window.


This afternoon we walked into Piedmont Park.  The skies remained stormy and the dark clouds were reflected in the still water of the lake.


We watched a heron fishing in the rain.


And two tiny ducklings, their yellow feathers reflected in the dark lake surface.


At the end of the afternoon we headed to the Atlanta Botanical Garden to see both the flowers and also the Dale Chihuly glass installations.  This large frog reflected in a pond was very vocal!


As the skies darkened further some of the glass sculptures were reflected in water around them.


We have lots more photos of the park, garden and glass but it is now very late..a long day!
