Life Is Not Measured By the Number of Breaths We Take, But By the Moments That Take Our
Breath Away!

This was quite unexpected with very little cloud coverage, I thought this sunset would be a washout.... God proved me wrong once again. I keep telling my wife, "If you don't go, you will never see the beautiful and unexpected sunrises and sunsets."

This is only a small snapshot of one part of a much larger image of what the Atlanta cityscape really looks like. Atlanta, like most large cities, is spread out over a large area with each part having its on buildings and characteristics that set them apart from the whole. Atlanta’s three main cityscapes or parts are Downtown Atlanta, Midtown Atlanta and Buckhead Atlanta. This is part of the Midtown section of Atlanta.

Midtown is the second largest business district in the city of Atlanta, situated between the commercial and financial districts of Downtown to the south and Buckhead to the north. Midtown has a resident population of 30,000, a workplace population of 68,000, a student population of 20,000. The district attracts about six million visitors annually.

Midtown is marked by its cultural attractions, institutions of higher education, noteworthy architecture, and urban layout. The district is the center of the city's arts scene that includes the Fox Theatre, Woodruff Arts Center, the High Museum of Art, the Museum of Design Atlanta, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Center for Puppetry Arts, and the 14th Street Playhouse. Midtown is also home to three well known institutions of higher education: Georgia Institute of Technology, John Marshall Law School, and the Atlanta division of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Midtown contains about one-third of the city's high-rises and some of Atlanta's most iconic buildings, such as the Bank of America Plaza, AT&T Midtown Center, Atlantic Center, and 1180 Peachtree. Midtown has also been a primary area for high-density development in the city in the first decade of the 2000s due to the district's mass transit options and urban street grid.

The Commons is home to many low-rise condominiums, apartments, townhomes, and a large man-made storm-water retention pond that is located within the median of 17th Street. The Village is located on the westernmost portion of Atlantic Station, along 16th Street, and comprises an IKEA store that opened in 2005, as well as two apartment complexes.
