Cityscape: Woodruff Park (The chess players)
I love watching people play chess in Woodruff Park downtown, especially those who duke it out on the big board. I love the way the game can ensnare anyone passing by to stop for a few minutes and watch the moves.
Sure, it takes all kinds at Woodruff Park. There’s always a guy preaching that the end of the world is coming. But there’s also usually a crowd of Georgia State students between classes, officeworkers on lunch break, tourists on the town, and even a few bloggers.
One more.
Hope you guys are enjoying summer in Atlanta — I am!

I like the light in the last picture!
The giant chess pieces are great fun — interactive public art that really engages folks. I’d love to see more of this type of thing.
Wow I like the way your photo shows up with your comment! I’d love it if more comments came attached with a face. Hee hee!
Thanks for the comment, Lain. I love the giant chess board, too. Though looking at the photo yesterday, I was thinking: why don’t they make a permanent stone chessboard? Why rely on the cloth?
Anyway, I would love to see other people’s cityscape photos!
Tell me what you're thinking...
