Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain range, the Atlanta metropolitan region encompasses 28 counties, stretches languidly across more than 6,000 square miles, and is called home by more than 5 million residents – a population that swells to accommodate some 35 million visitors annually from across the U.S. and around the world. Founded in 1837, Georgia’s capital and the state’s largest city is a robust financial center and a major transportation hub, a leader in higher education PROPERTYand medical research, and an OFinnovator inTWIN information technology. LIGHTS Atlanta is a PUBLISHERS PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS visionary whose story is written on her skyline. And she is a survivor. Like the phoenix of ancient mythology that is her symbol, Atlanta rose from the ashes of the conflagration that burned the city to the ground and brought the community to its knees during General Sherman’s Civil War March to the Sea. And she rose heroically – ascending to skyscraping heights in her architecture, gleaming modern and postmodern structures housing a heavy concentration of Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 companies. Atlanta has achieved superlative triumphs in attractions that include the world’s largest PROPERTYaquarium, world headquarters OF for the first TWIN all-news television LIGHTSchannel in the PUBLISHERS PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS United States, and an entire “world” feting a beverage. She has attained the upper reaches of the cultural stratosphere in gems that include the leading art museum in the southeastern United States, one of the oldest zoos in the country, a garden nurturing the nation’s foremost collection of species orchids, and a public art program whose sculptures enrich streetscapes throughout the city. Once the homeland of Native Americans, Atlanta has risen to history’s chal- lenges from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement and emerged an im- portant international city with an excellent quality of life. It is a place on history’s PROPERTYtimeline marked with names likeOF Jimmy C arterTWIN, Margaret Mitchell, LIGHTS Martin Luther PUBLISHERS PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS King, Jr., Joel Chandler Harris, Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler, and renowned architect John Portman. Those who call Atlanta home and those who are welcomed as visitors will see, through this brilliant collection of images by Paul Scharff, a bold survivor with Southern grace and charm and international aspirations and achievements.

Photographer Paul Scharff has been captivated by light and nature his entire life. Over the years, his friends and family have learned to politely listen and nod as he repeatedly asks them to notice how the light is hitting this dirt road, that building, those waves, this flower, or that sand dune. In addition, Paul has always looked at the world in a very non-traditional way, noting and zeroing in on a particular nuance or individual PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERScomponent of a much broader setting, or discerning PROPERTY an overarching OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS design or geometric shape to an otherwise ordinary scene. Paul’s photography can be seen in a number of books from Twin Lights Publishers, including books on Cape Cod, Miami, Phoenix, and Philadelphia. Paul’s work is also on display at several locations throughout the United States.
