Atlanta Commuters Slowing Down On Eastbound I-20

Commuters On Interstate 20 in Atlanta

This photo is from Hill St. crossing over Interstate 20 looking eastbound. I took it while out running.

It was 5:15pm that day and rush hour traffic was starting to back up. On one hand, it’s a really interesting snapshot of people getting where they need to go in a dynamic city via an incredible piece of infrastructure.

On the other hand, it’s incredibly sad to see people spending so much time & money commuting on a giant highway that slices right through the heart of my neighborhood – splitting it in two.

  • Makeshift Bridge over a Swollen Jacks River

    In the Cohutta Wilderness, the Jacks and Conasauga Rivers can rise fast after a rain. Due to a bit of poor planning, I woke up one morning to an uncrossable Jacks. Thankfully, this tall and otherwise healthy pine tree had fallen at just the right spot across the river. It provided a useful bridge and a bit of adventure.
