Description

I was incredibly torn over titles for this scene from Atlanta's Piedmont Park. When I moved to Atlanta years ago, I often heard it described as a city in the trees. And the city certainly has a green feeling when you fly in over it. I always knew home was coming when I saw the houses and those tree lined streets. So, City In The Trees had a nice ring to it as a title for this piece.

And when I think of a city in the trees, it's the midtown skyline towering over Piedmont Park that springs to mind. But those towers as you can see have an incredibly futuristic vibe to them. That harmonious feeling between nature and man is what I loved about the views from Piedmont Park. Perhaps over-simplifying things, but it felt as if all was right standing on Lake Clara Meer.

That's the feeling I was going for in this photo art scene from Atlanta, a feeling of the near future. A recognizable if idealized Atlanta. Yet I stopped just short of jet-packs and flying cars. That was how City Of The Future won over at any rate.
