Very well done, Ocean's Edge. How did you find it? There are huge boulders, and a campground sign. With a Pegasus picture.

Got lucky ... Pegasus / Campground ... wasn't too hard

Is that the Atlanta Marriott Marquis atrium?

Got it in one.

Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel, one of the Southeast USA's true architectural masterpieces. In 1986, acclaimed science fiction writer Ray Bradbury had said of the then-new Marriott, "This hotel is science fiction!" It's still one of the most unique structures in the Southeast.

It took me a while to realize the camera was aimed down. My brain kept seeing the pattern of a face, and I thought it was some sort of sculpture. But then it was obvious it was a huge atrium, and I did lots of Google searching for terms along those lines. A very impressive building.

I stay there when I attend Dragon*Con. The first time I saw the atrium it was absolutely mind blowing.

Put together this vertical panorama from images I shot in while I was there in 2006.

Any building done by the same architect (John Portman) is usually spectacular. The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites in Los Angeles, is another example of his work and is a regular feature in movies and TV series.
