Note, the first six attractions are located in walking distance from each other.

Thanks, Masha! Glad you like it.
Great photos as always! Atlanta isn’t usually at the top of anyones list so it’s refreshing to see something on a place that not many write about.

Thanks, Shaun! Agree on the “top of anyones list” [smile] Atlanta is still the Capital of the South and a great city to visit. I’ve posted a random set of previously unpublished pics in this post. So these photos do not really reflect the subject (Top 10 Attractions). If you’re interested in seeing more photos of Atlanta, here is a link http://memographer.com/tag/things-to-do-in-atlanta/
I haven’t been to Atlanta, but it’s on my list. It would make a good trip for my husband and I since he doesn’t like to leave the country much. Your photos are stunning as usual!

Please come see us, Michelle [smile]
Just FYI, if you wanna see more than top six attractions from my list above, you will need to rent a car. Public transportation is very poor in Atlanta.

I find there’s always something to see in Atlanta – from bicycle races to dogs in the park and all points between. Great city to experience.

You’re right, Maria. There’s always something.
The High Museum of Art and the parks sound pretty much like my cup of tea, It looks like I wouldn’t get bored if I went to Atlanta :)
