Sunbeam Atlanta

Alice Hawks's avatar Alice Hawks Two-Dimensional

"Sunbeam Atlanta" allows the viewer to observe the skyline of Atlanta, Georgia, with its tall buildings looking very miniature in contrast to the imposing cloudy sky casting a multitude of sunbeams across its landscape. The view is from near the top of Stone Mountain looking West before sunset. I climbed the mountain a number of times during the few days the sun sets directly behind downtown Atlanta. I was not expecting so many clouds hiding the sun's decent in the sky, but as a lover of natural light photography, I am very pleased with the "unexpected".
