Out of this world
Back when I moved to Atlanta the Hyatt Regency was the tallest building in the skyline. On top is the Polaris restaurant (looking very much like a space ship) which had a 360˚revolving view of the area. This is a shot from the terrace of AmericasMart some 20 floors up around sunset.

  Wow, what a gorgeous capture, Courtenay. Love the shapes and reflections. I've been to that restaurant. Doesn't it also have water pods inside? I think we'll see this again.

  It could almost be a space city. Love the shape and contour of the images with that superb reflection and colour. Guess you aren't too afraid of heights. Oh the length a photographer will go to.

  I expect the Jetsons to be landing any minute! LOL! Isn't it amazing how quickly the skyline of a growing city changes?? Austin is the same way - each time I ramble down there, it seems like another high-rise is going up. Wonderful design elements, great light and reflections - ATL is one fascinating place - full of so many wonderful and terrific photo opps - a super example here!

  That's how I remember it too, back in 1970 when I first moved to ATL. It was the cool place to be...probably still is! :-) I like your crop/comp, Courtenay...hope to see this one again!
