Sunday Six: Week 4

This week I get to do a recap six because I took pictures this week! Actually, these particular six pictures I took yesterday. I headed into Midtown yesterday and toured of the Fox Theatre. All but one of today's six are from the Fox.


This is part of the interior of the Fox. It's an absolutely beautiful old movie palace that's mostly now used for traveling performance groups. The ceiling is painted to resemble the evening sky over Egypt, complete with twinkling stars (in their constellation patterns) and drifting clouds.


The Fox has several different architecture and design influences. That makes for many different lighting styles. This lamp hangs in the atrium area, just outside the main entrance doors.


I love the tile on the top of the two towers inside the theater. Would you believe that these towers, along with the other elements above the stage, have never been used in a performance? They're built to look like a fixed set, at least I think, but there are only a series of catwalks behind them.


This lamp hangs in the lower lobby area of the theater.


Here, I'm standing at the pit wall looking out over the main orchestra section. We weren't allowed to hop onstage, so this was the closest I could get to a stage view.


Finally, this is the Varsity, home of the World's Largest Drive-in. It's located close to the Georgia Tech campus, although there is also a location in Athens at the University of Georgia. This place stays busy and is an Atlanta institution.
