Look Away...

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 8 October 2007 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

Here's a ghostly something from Atlanta's Stone Mountain that sort of hearkens back to another day and time. It also hearkens back to one of my old digital cameras. Can you say "archives" ???

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.

Lost Valley View from Kamloops, Canada

Great detail! I find this almost "alive" like they are talking to one another!

@Lost Valley View: It offers a striking image all right; it is larger than it looks, too.

ColNed Pictures from Amersfoort, Netherlands

Very nice shot and indeed the detail is great !!

@ColNed Pictures: This is a very interesting monument set in a beautiful park; sort of unexpected in modern Atlanta, which has become one of the least "Southern" of all major Southern cities in the United States (according to what some lifelong Atlanteans have told me -- lots of nice folks moving in from up north).

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

Stone Mountain...wow, excellent detail here VF...very very very nice!!!

@Jen: It's probably my favorite spot in all Atlanta (the whole park, I mean)...

Nick Passantino from Bronx, United States

@Nick Passantino: Thanks Nick; right now the archives are far deeper than my D80 portfolio.

DaveB from Exeter, United Kingdom

Very cool, looks like a turbidite sequence! Lovely sculptures aswel!

@DaveB: A turbidite sequence? Duh, I thought it was just a big rock. Heh. Thanks Dave.

Amir from ?, Iran

It was a nice camera and is a nice image.

@Amir: I liked it a lot; gave it to my son and he likes it, but now he also has a D80, yet he won't give the Konica-Minolta back...

e. from Washington DC, United States

Really neat shot! The figures almost look like they're melting into the stone.

@e.: Old soldiers never die... I like to think they're sort of riding off into the sunset of history.

Mandy from South Africa

Brian from United States

I love Stone Mountain; it's place I always visit when I'm in Atlanta. That Z2 did a great job!

8 Oct 2007 8:21pm

@Brian: It's a cool place. BTW, thinking about your photo of the drying corn today, have you ever visited "The Corn Palace" in South Dakota. You should see that place.

Wolfgang Prigge from Canada

Great sculptures and textures, Atlanta is still on my to do list, but from what I heard there are no good RV parks in the immediate area...

8 Oct 2007 8:47pm

@Wolfgang Prigge: As for RV parks, I do not know; metro Atlanta is a pretty big city with lots of suburbs (14 counties large). I am sure there must be something decent in striking distance.

Markus from Reading, United Kingdom

Interesting, very interesting...

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Markus, Rabbit, Reza, and amy, am very glad y'all came over and left your comments and observations. You guys are the best! And Miz Rabbit, those hats are off b/c these are Southern gentlemen and they know that ladies are present... ;-)
