Recently took a trip to Atlanta, these are the sirens on the way, in, and on the way back from, Atlanta.
Denver Siren and Whelen WPS-4008 in Friendsville, TN
Went out of our way because I wanted to see a WPS-4008 fro the first time. Got lucky when I saw the Denver there as well. Got even luckier when they growled the Denver for me. Got EVEN luckier when they rotated the 4008 for me. Videos should be up soon:

Whelen WPS-2810 in Kennesaw, GA
This is the first siren in GA we stopped at. We were on our way to the Kennesaw WS-1000, and I decided we could take a detour to see this one.

Whelen WS-1000 in Kennesaw, GA
Thought it would be neat to see this little guy, which is essentially loudspeakers on a pole. :p Still a cool siren.

T-121 in Duluth, GA
we were on our way to do some tubing in the Chattahoochee River, and saw this new-ish T-121. A near by police officer gave me some odd looks while I was taking pictures, and I was in my swimming trunks. XD

So, there would be pictures of a Vortex and WS-1000 pair in Smyrna, but they didn't get uploaded, and I cleared the SD Card. Sorry! :c
Vortex in Decatur
I actually recorded this siren going off for a test after taking these. Hopefully that video will be up soon.

508 siren in Chatanooga, TN
Finally saw my first 508! This was pretty exciting to see in person. It is part of the Sequoyah Nuclear Generating Station siren system. This one replaced a Thunderbolt.
