Beautiful day, Atlanta

Atlanta Sky

This photo was taken from my office in Fall 2016. One of the things that me and my family love about Atlanta is the average amount of sunshine per year.

Atlanta is no Las Vegas or Phoenix. But it’s surprisingly sunny & clear. We have more clear days than Miami, and way more sun than northern cities. Like many other things (ie, density, greenspace, jobs, transit, tech jobs), Atlanta strikes the right balance. It’s on the end of the spectrum that we want that we want in a city.

  • Wildlife Clearing on an old Appalachian Bald

    Appalachian Balds are a historical mystery. But they are very man-made now. This one is one of my favorites. I’ll gatekeep the exact location (it’s up an old logging road in a Georgia State Park donated by a dedicated conservationist near Cleveland, GA), but it’s maintained by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources as a wildlife clearing. There are views in the winter, but birds and wildlife year-round.
