It was my first visit to Atlanta in about twenty years, a big surprise when you consider how important the city has become. I am not sure how and why I ignored Atlanta, the obvious is that I had almost no connection there. But then I go to Los Angeles almost twice a year even though I have no family there, either. This time it was quite brief and the photos do not do it justice, and are probably limited to my horticultural interest and leanings. I stayed at the Westin Hotel in the Perimeter North area and was quite impressed. But I am promising to come back soon, and do the shopping and see much more of the city; and then I would be able to present much more appropriate photos. As you can guess a lot of my time was spent at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
