DAILY PHOTO: Atlanta from Centennial Olympic Park
The Westin and Georgia Pacific Towers
A piece of Atlanta’s skyline as seen from Centennial Olympic Park. The cylindrical tower is the Westin, and the brown angular tower is the Georgia Pacific building. To the far left is the new American Cancer Society building and the red brick building is The Tabernacle (a music venue, not a church.)

DAILY PHOTO: Guy Fawkes at DragonCon
Guy Fawkes in Georgia
This photograph was taken on Labor Day weekend a couple of years ago after the DragonCon parade.
It reminded me of the poem “The Fifth of November.” I don’t believe its author is known, it’s usually cited as a “traditional English folk verse.”
The Fifth of November
Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England’s overthrow.
But, by God’s providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James’s sake!
If you won’t give me one,
I’ll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn’orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
