I photographed the playground at the Dekalb Peachtree Airport in Chamblee for the Brookhaven Patch newspaper on Thursday, November 3, 2011. The playground is nestled right off of the main runway at the airport allowing families to enjoy the slide, swings and other amenities while watching planes, jets and helicopters taking off and landing. These are my favorite images.
