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.

    Crater Lake has to be one of America’s most photographed landscapes. But seeing it in person still exceeded the expectations.
