The skyline. Anyone who follows me on this blog or on social media knows I like to capture city skylines. With that I got excited starting the A Million Skyline Looks series.
Toronto, Chicago, Auckland and now it is Atlanta’s turn. The unofficial capitol of the South has distinct skylines in both Midtown and Downtown.
Photo opportunities to capture both from parks, bridges, high up-top sky rises and from right out on the open road (as a passenger of course) have presented themselves, along with many more. Coming up with a million skyline looks of a place I’ve lived in and visited a lot is easy. Well without further ado:
Eat a burger from this ATL institution, the Varsity, while capturing the city.
Sometimes random Atlanta city skyline shots just present themselves.
Head to the park behind the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood.

Love looking straight up in a big city.

Exit for the Downtown ATL skyline anyone?
One Atlantic Center, the tallest building in Atlanta, standing in Midtown.
Heading right into the heart, northbound on the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85).
Heading southbound on the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85). Skyline hugging the guard rail.
Heading into the city from the south. Can you see the Georgia State Capitol?
The pond and spot to grab a city shot within Piedmont Park.
Midtown will greet you at the end of a climb in Piedmont Park.

Good reason you think to pull off the road on Boulevard NE in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood?
More Atlanta skyline opportunity out on the open road in Old Fourth Ward.
Heading off the interstate and into the heart of the Midtown skyline.
My favorite place to capture the ATL skyline is the 17th Street Bridge, my peaceful place.
Many, many, many lanes heading into the city from the 17th Street Bridge.
What other spots would you recommend capturing the Atlanta skyline from?

Looks like home…great photographs!
Thank you Elisa! A great city to capture. 🙂
Great city shots!!! We’ve been many times but haven’t taken that many pictures. Loved the World of Coca-Cola! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you guys! No problem. I always have the camera out when roaming around home and on the road. I’m keeping an eye out for that next skyline photo opportunity. I like the World of Coca-Cola too. Did too much of the tasting last time I was there haha.
I work in midtown but never get a chance to appreciate the view. Great photos. I live in a beautiful city and thanks for capturing its true beauty!
Thank you so much! Midtown and the ATL as a whole are definitely beautiful. Always find myself looking up when walking around. You live in a great place. Enjoy! 🙂
Nice pic of a great city.
Thank you!!! A great city indeed.
Great shots! Hope you enjoyed your time in Atlanta.
Thank you Sean! I do, every day I get to spend in Atlanta is a great day.
Theres a bridge one of the spots you took pics by…A little further ahead…close to old forth ward by the hospital. I see many people standing there capturing the skyline.. These are extraordinary! Makes me appreciate my home that much more! Great pictures.
Thank you, so glad you like. 🙂 The ATL skyline is beautiful. Will have to check that and the other bridges out sometime, thanks for the tip!
Anytime! Thank you for showing the beauty that is our city! 🙂
From The Atlantic is the best view I have ever seen in ATL.
Cool beans! I have only seen it from the 17th Street Bridge right by there and love it, so can imagine how beautiful it looks from there. Have you seen it from up-top one of the Atlantic skyrises?
