Turner Field from Capitol

Turner Field from Capitol 1

This photo is of the former Turner Field looking from Downtown. Even though Atlanta doesn’t play baseball there anymore, I’m glad that the stadium has been repurposed again for Georgia State Baseball.

I miss summer baseball there. Even though I’m not super-pumped that the Atlanta Braves left downtown, I am glad the actual stadium continues to serve as a reminder that we can repurpose buildings instead of just tearing them down.

This stadium served as the Olympic Stadium before serving as a baseball stadium, and now as a football stadium.

    I absolutely love the Appalachians mountains. They are not soaring, rocky, or iconic. But they are ancient, diverse, and complex. They see a lot of humid air coming off the Gulf of Mexico – but also from their own green, humid forests. This view is from an overlook off the Cohutta mountains with clouds drifting up over the ridges.

  • North View from Rabun Bald

    Rabun Bald is the second highest point in the state of Georgia. It’s also one of the wettest spots east of the Mississippi River. I also love it because unlike Brasstown Bald, which has a parking lot, a paved trail, and a visitor center on top, Rabun Bald has only the remains of a fire tower.
