When traveling I certainly am forced to do some whale watching but in the part of town I inhabit, there are not many whales. My first image is of a very opinionated woman whose family was here before Atlanta was Atlanta (Terminus). Every morning brings her to a two or three lap walk around the park. During our conversation she opined that perhaps I should go back where I came from; we had been talking about the lack of urban planning in Atlanta vs. Kansas City. I think perhaps some of her family tied the ropes to the tails of the drunken cows when the roads were laid out. http://gallery.leica-users.org/PAW-31/memorialparkwalker The second image is of a retired gentleman who still works every day: http://gallery.leica-users.org/PAW-31/parktoweljogger My third image is typical of the male presence in the park, at least a pair of friends out for a morning jog. http://gallery.leica-users.org/PAW-31/malerunnermemorialpark Last, anybody who spends time in local parks understands the traffic jams that can occur. http://gallery.leica-users.org/PAW-31/parkjoggersdog I kept the framing very loose to show some environment of the urban parks early in the morning. Most people are there for a morning constitutional or to walk the dog. Not much socialization occurs until later in the day. Comments always welcome. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com
