Inside the Water Tower

The water tower in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward was built just after the turn of the 20th century to provide water to a cotton warehouse.

This tulip poplar in Deepdene Park is allegedly the tallest tree in Atlanta.

Our Bat

Bats live in the eaves of our attic vent (which has a screen). We don't mind - since they've moved in, we haven't had a mosquito problem.

Another Cool Record

Sorry to those who are totally uninterested in my obsession with recorded music, but I found this really cool early-50's ten-inch LP today. It's a deluxe issue of jazz saxophonist Sidney Bechet's ballet La Nuit est une Sorcière (The Night is a Sorcerer) in a box with an inner sleeve and liner notes in English and French. Everything's pretty close to mint condition, and the vinyl doesn't look like it's every been played - until tonight.

Rain on Wood

Peaceful Buddha

Hardendorf Avenue, Atlanta

Street Scene

I watched as a mother and her three little girls, about four, six and eight years old, went into Dr. Bombay's on McLendon Avenue to get some ice cream. They tied their dog to a telephone pole, but he started barking as soon as they disappeared into the store. One by one they came out to try to quiet him; here he is with the oldest girl.

My pictures from April 4, August 19, and August 20 all show the same block of Mclendon Avenue.

Ellington CDs

My house is so small, and my CD collection so large, that I'm transferring my CDs from conventional "jewel box" cases to plastic sleeves in order to save space. Here are my Duke Ellington CDs in their new sleeves, in front of the jewel boxes they came out of. They take up about one-fourth the space they used to.

And no, there is no such thing as too many Duke Ellington CDs.

Fountain at Dusk

Arizona Avenue, Atlanta

Driving Through the Car Wash

Traffic

...as seen in my car's side mirror; Georgia Highway 400 near Dunwoody.

Unfortunate Name
