Atlanta’s city fabric is, to this day, defined by transportation systems. I love coming across views where multiple systems all cross each other. This picture is from Oakland Cemetery with a CSX rail line and MARTA rapid rail in the background.
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.
I love how symmetrical The Netherlands are. They have truly put every inch of space to use.
These photos are all from my pre-COVID-19 planespotting expeditions at the world’s busiest airport. You do have to be pretty…
George L Smith State Park is small in acreage but dense in nature. The blackwater river (dammed by an old mill) is packed with majestic Bald Cypress. They are a joy to to paddle through – and incredible for birding.
Lassen Volcanic National Park was hit pretty hard by the Dixie Fire of 2021. We got to visit in Summer 2025 and saw not only how the land was recovering, but also how much it still impacted the Park after 4 years.
*like, sometimes I publish…a lot :O – though you can pick what categories you want.
Ahh…I see you’re up for some extra inconvenience. Some Type 2 Internet Fun, if you will. Well then! Follow me with your favorite Fediverse app or server (e.g., Threads, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc).
I’m Nate Shivar from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I love nature, public lands, books, and the old-school Internet.
