Metalwork - Atlanta Appeals Courthouse

The Elbert P. Tuttle U.S. Court of Appeals Building has a backside too with a beautiful metal arch in green. I'm not the first to take a picture The street is blocked off and isn't on the way to anywhere but you can walk the street. You get a peek of the Healey Building above the roof.

Opening Party for Atlanta's Barnett Street Mosaic by Donna Pinter

Today Ilene Brenner and Donna Pinter hosted an opening for the Mosaic, aka "Symphony of Color" These pictures don't do it justice. Go see it for yourself. It should be at it's peak in mid afternoon after all the leaves are gone. If you click on these pictures you'll go to Flickr and you can make them a little bigger. More pictures.

The Architecture Tourist was fortunate to be there and snapped the M&M guy:
