The Okefenokee Swamp is one of the most underestimated landscapes that I’ve ever been to. One part that that is not captured by a photograph is how quiet it can be. On one hand, it can be creepy, but on the other hand, it’s enchanting.
City parks are the workhorses of free, public space. They are amazing but also taken for granted.
Lake Charlotte is an accidental treasure in the City of Atlanta. It’s a conservation tract right in the middle of a massive industrial area. But the tract is big enough and so dense with mature hardwoods that it’s a scenic oasis in the city. Love it.
The Beltline arborteum is an underrated, but seriously appreciated part of the project. In the Spring, I love seeing all the native plants and flowers blooming along the trail. The Westside, with its larger easements, has especially large plantings.
Fort Morris was an old fort that stood guard in front of Sunbury, one of the oldest European settlements in Georgia. The site is on the Medway River with beautiful views of coastal marshes.
*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.
