Atlanta from Stone Mountain

Atlanta from Stone Mountain 1

I love this view – even though it’s hard to truly capture without a lens on a proper camera. Atlanta is just such an interesting city. Even though the area is a sustainable place for a city (unlike, say, the Sonoran Desert), there are no real landmarks nearby that make sense (lake, river, etc). The city just sort of pops up along a ridgeline in a forest.
