High's Sky Bridge & Midtown Skyline

I've shared with you before the I love bridges. The Sky Bridge at the High Museum of Art is another sort of bridge, but I totally love it for the vistas it offers.

From the Sky Bridge looking south, you have a brilliant view of 1180 Peachtree (Symphony Tower, left) and Promenade II. Both are stunning buildings.

Keep your cameras at the ready...you'll have some amazing vacation photos if you do.

ATLANTApix: AECOM Atlanta

AECOM Building in Midtown Atlanta

One of the things that I love—yes, I said and fully mean "love"—about authoring tourATLANTA is the learning process. True, I've learned about blogging and Social Media while creating posts, but I'm referring to learning more about Atlanta...and exponentially so!

For example: I've walked by, drove by, and dined across the street from the AECOM Building countless times, but I never knew what they did until I decided to feature them on tourATLANTA. (This particular photo is of their Midtown Atlanta office, reflecting The Peachtree Building)

Not only did I learn what building this is (yet another), I learned about an incredibly interesting company. A company that employs 45,000 people in more than 125 countries—now, that's impressive. 

And what they do is even more impressive. To borrow from their website:

"AECOM is a global leader in providing fully integrated professional technical and management support services for a broad range of markets. From transportation, energy and water systems, to enhancing environments and creating new buildings and communities, our vision is to make the world a better place."

I couldn't have said it better myself. Reading about their projects is mesmerizing. Their work is relative not only to current issues, but those yet to come to fruition. And their focus is global and all-encompassing. This company is one that I will keep a very close eye on...out of excitement for how they will change the world in which we live.

ATLANTApix: Invesco

Invesco Global Headquarters
Invesco Global Headquarters
There is absolutely no shortage of unique architecture in the New South.
 
Invesco, an investment management firm originally founded in England and Wales in 1935, has a most unique building at the north end of Midtown in Atlanta, which happens to be their global headquarters!

The building is directly across the street from Equifax, the largest credit reporting company in the United States. It also is the center of the company's total managed assets. At the close of the second quarter 2011, those assets represented approximately $674 billion...I can only imagine how stunning this headquarters building is inside.
