Atlanta has a magnificent sky line. i am surprised it isn’t one of those iconic sky lines like New York City or Seattle. The architecture of the buildings is unique and unusual with towers topping out with interestingly illuminated structures. The night sky line is particularly breath taking and clearly showing what a metropolitan place that Atlanta is.
We went a week ago and stayed at luxury hotels Georgia for a weekend of shopping along Peach Tree St and visit the High Museum of Art.
I was not so interested in the shopping but was very interested in the high Museum and its current special exhibit, Leonardo da Vinci, Hands of the Genius. The show consisted of about 50 drawings and sketches that Leonardo da Vinci completed. Many of these works are on view on American soil for the first time ever. The exhibit is set up in three sections, Leonardo the sculptor this section focused on drawings Leonardo did as plans for sculpture and includes detailed drawings for the most complicated sculpture in the world, Sforza horse. The next sections was Leonardo as a student. here works were shown of his and his contemporaries and teachers. Showing the influences on Leonardo’s early work and the last area being Leonardo the mentor. This section focused on Leonardo’s students and how his work in latter years influenced younger artists and students. This exhibit was the high light of the trip to Atlanta I would say.
Atlanta was fun, my partner really enjoyed the shopping on Peach Tree and the museum was a good time for both of us. We also had a lot of fun eating and enjoying the great night clubs that Atlanta has to offer. All in all is was a great time and worth the visit. I suppose we will return again and explore more of this surprisingly metropolitan city
