 Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park: Elephant Days (Podcast) 

This park, created for the 1996 Olympic Games held in Atlanta, has 21 acres of green space, rock gardens and artwork. The nearly 500,000 commemorative bricks that make up its main walkway were part of fundraising efforts for the Games. During scorching Atlanta summers, children frolic in the ground-level Olympic Rings, which periodically shoot streaming arcs of water in time to the seven light and music concerts put on throughout the day. Flags honoring the nations that have played host to the Olympics in the past surround the fountain. Free admission. More »

The Fountain of Rings at Centennial Olympic Park. This is how the fountain looked very early in the morning when I started to shoot downtown Atlanta. As you can see there is no water -- yet.

Centennial Park in itself is not a real destination unless you have children. On a hot summer day it is a perfect place for them to cool off in the interactive fountains, which are timed and choreographed to musical numbers. There are always scores of children in bathing suits or shorts adn tshirt running through and playing in the fountains...
