Sunday Six 2.0: Week 8

After a bout with another cold and laryngitis, I'm finally getting around to posting this past week's Sunday Six. I had high hopes for this week since I ended up with tickets to the circus. But, I ended up being IN the circus and wasn't able to take my camera onto the circus floor. So, I missed out on lots of fun shots with clowns, acrobats, and the high wire performers. I did manage to get a couple of decent shots, though.


This is two of several acrobats who performed during the first part of the circus. The poses they held were really neat. It takes so much strength to be able to do that!


So, how much would it take for you to jump through this?




Surely if this guy can do it, you can, too!


I realize there are quite a few distractions in this one. It comes with the territory of being in the center of the city. This is a shot of Midtown Atlanta, looking East. We also have the signature tell-tale sign that this was shot from the driver's seat of Murphy -- the blue windshield!


Finally, I met up with Allison and some of her students at Fat Matt's for some yummy BBQ on Saturday night. I really wanted to get a shot of the signs before I headed home.

So, this week's Sunday Six will likely feature pictures from Tennessee, as I'm headed there tomorrow to visit my family. See you then!

White II

I had my very own winter wonderland last weekend! This area is near Barrington Hall and Roswell City Hall. There was no one around but me Saturday morning. It was beautiful!

Feminine

A port of the "Faces of War" memorial at Roswell City Hall. The memorial is dedicated to those who served during the Vietnam War. In addition to inscribed bricks along the walkways, the memorial includes 50 faces, cast in bronze, depicting a variety of emotions, including fear, grief, and courage. They represent American serviceman and women, medical personnel, and Vietnamese civilians. One figure in the sculpture is that of a soldier reaching out to clasp the hand of this little girl. In warmer weather, there is a sheer waterfall that flows over the backdrop faces. The water allows visitors to see a reflection of their own faces and at that instant become a part of the memorial.

Simplicity

This was taken on the grounds of the Roswell City Hall. The area is covered in light forest which made for some pretty scenery. I saw one other set of footprints and those were from another photographer out walking around.

Sunday Six 2.0: Week 7

This week's Sunday Six is a Recap Six, but only from the weekend. However, it's a weekend with snow! Metro Atlanta received about 3 inches of snow Friday night. It was a beautiful morning to get out and take some photos.


It was a sunny morning, which made the snow even prettier.


See?! This is the Roswell City Hall complex. I was the only one make footprints out there.


In addition to the snow, we had a thin layer of ice. It melted away pretty quickly as it warmed up.


I love how the snow sticks to the tree branches.


I spotted this little snowman on the patio of a local restaurant.


Finally, vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting I made over the weekend. I wasn't too fond of the cake recipe, but the frosting was so good!

That's this week's Six. Until next week . . .
