[/quote]Someone mentioned the Buckhead mansions. Buckhead and southern Sandy Springs have many beautiful mansions, but I won't be the one snooping around taking pictures...
Northside Drive, Mt. Paran Road, West Paces Ferry, Powers Ferry, Blackland Road, Tuxedo Drive, all those areas....
There's a monster house that's just wrapping up construction at Northside Drive and Riverview Road in Sandy Springs.... that thing is gargantuan. It looks like it could eat up the neighboring mansions. I couldn't believe it was allowed. Maybe that's John Porter's new house, the one that made a stir because of its size? (John Porter is a famous Atlanta architect, GA Tech grad, who is responsible for some of the famous skyscrapers in Atlanta).[/quote]
His name is John Portman

Any pics will be much appreciated if you know what I am talking about.

You are probably talking about the Alpharetta Greenway, also sometimes referred to as the Big Creek Greenway. It is about 6 miles from end to end and I ride my bike there often.
It will be soon be connected to another greenway to the south, across Mansell Road. That one is called Big Creek too, so it gets confusing, but when they are all connected (in a few months hopefully), it will be simpler.
But it's the best dedicated multi-use trail on the north side of town (excepting the Silver Comet Trail which is in a league of its own).

Where to get skyline shot
Does anyone know where you could get a good large skyline shot of midtown suitable for framing and hanging on the wall.

Wow! Since moving to TX I realized I haven't been to Buckhead on my trips back home, have seen the changes in downtown and midtown, but this is amazing! It took me a few seconds to realize where this picture was taken, was about to chide you for posting a picture from some other city. What a difference 5 years has made. WOW!
