The city of Atlanta has decorated Centennial Olympic Park with lights and trees as well as constructed a skating rink in the middle of the park. Ice skating costs $10 per person for a 90 minute session and the rink is open through January 27, 2013. Each day, hundreds of couples, families and the young and young at heart come to skate at the park in the middle of the city. I photographed people skating at the rink on Sunday for a winter fun article for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
