Nate Shivar's Photos

I'm not a trained or professional photographer by any measure. However, I love that I get live in a time where I have what were once professional grade camera and photo editing software in my pocket.

This category has all the photographs that I've taken and posted publicly. Most all are also syndicated to my Instagram, Flickr or Pinterest accounts if you are interested in following there.

All my work is released under Creative Commons Attribution. You may distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as you credit http://www.nateshivar.com/category/photos/ for the use.

The Peachtree Center Ave. Cycletrack in Downtown Atlanta

July 22, 2015 By Nate Shivar

I’ve been cycling in Atlanta ever since we moved here in 2013. And while I wouldn’t call Atlanta the next Copenhagen, cycling infrastructure has been getting dramatically better throughout town.

Beautiful Perkerson Park – one of my favorite hidden gems of Atlanta

July 19, 2015 By Nate Shivar

Disc Golf at Perkerson Park

Perkerson Park is nestled in the Capitol View neighborhood in Southwest Atlanta. Between the disc golf course, new playground, ballfields, old growth trees, tennis courts, and the nearby Metropolitan Library – it’s a hidden gem not too far down the BeltLine.

It even has a splash pad for kids and a new master plan coming up.

Taj Mahal

July 15, 2015 By Nate Shivar

This photo is of the Taj Mahal. There are a few places on this Earth where seeing the place in person seems totally surreal. This is one of those places.

It is all that. And I’m thankful that I had the rare opportunity to see it.

The Mill at Sweetwater Creek State Park

July 12, 2015 By Nate Shivar

The Mill at Sweetwater Creek State Park

We went hiking at Sweetwater Creek State Park in Lithia Springs, GA. It’s about a 20 minute drive due West of Downtown Atlanta.

As one of the 3 State Parks near Downtown Atlanta, it was pretty crowded on a nice Sunday afternoon.

The main hiking trail (Red) goes down to the creek and towards the ruins of an old textile mill.

It was torched by Union troops on their way to Atlanta in 1864. but remains in strikingly good condition (for a ruin).

The creek provides a beautiful backdrop and there are plenty of trails and forest to explore. Well worth the short drive.

You Know You Live in Atlanta When…Coca-Cola Is Art

Vintage Coca-Cola Ad on Grocery Store

Just up the street from my house there’s a music venue called “Grocery on Home” – and they have the coolest vintage ad for Coca-Cola on their building. It’s art.

Pathways in Grant Park Atlanta, GA

Pathways in Grant Park Atlanta, GA

This photo is from walk on the north end of Grant Park. It’s Atlanta’s original city park and home to Zoo Atlanta.

Even though the park has lost a lot of tree cover over the years, it’s still incredibly beautiful to walk through.

Eastside BeltLine

April 30, 2015 By Nate Shivar

BeltLine on Eastside

The Eastside phase of the Atlanta BeltLine was the first major section paved and open for business. The New York Times might call it a Glorified Sidewalk, but it’s a really huge deal for Atlanta. What a lot of people miss are the unseen components of the project.

Underneath the Trail, there are new stormwater and utility infrastructure that has dramatically improved living in the Old Fourth Ward. There is a zoning overlay that rewards and encourages high density living with commercial establishments – so there are actually people and things to do and see all along the trail.

In this picture, I’m actually using the trail to go via bike from my job in Midtown to my barber to my home in Grant Park. It will eventually extend all the way to my home via the Southeast Trail Extension.

Enjoying An Afternoon in Grant Park

Spring in Grant Park

We’ve been living at our new house in the Grant Park neighborhood of Atlanta for more than 7 months now. This shot is from our front yard looking down our street.

GA 400 Cycle & Pedestrian Underpass

November 2, 2014 By Nate Shivar

Overpass Bridge

The Georgia DOT rebuilt the interchange between GA 400 and I-85. They added a couple of new flyovers.

It’s been a great as a car driver, but there’s also a hidden gem for cyclists and pedestrians. Underneath the flyover on state owned property, they’ve built a nice gravel running path complete with bridges over several creeks to connect Chesire Bridge Rd with Lindbergh – and PATH 400 one day.

It’s nice, new, and worth a visit. I’m also a huge fan of the DOT setting aside a small percentage of a car project cost to support alternative transportation. The relatively small amount of money invested goes so far with alternative infrastructure, especially when you can build it at the same time as the car project.

Northside BeltLine

November 1, 2014 By Nate Shivar

BeltLine - Northside

The Northside BeltLine is really close to our apartment in south Buckhead. It has a very different feel than the Eastside BeltLine. It was the first section, so the design is more of a prototype than a finished design. It also does not run through an abandoned rail corridor.

Northside BeltLine

Instead, it meanders along Tanyard Creek. It has a lovely feel and connects several otherwise separate neighborhoods. It’s great for a run and it’s great for kids. As seen in the picture, there are two playgrounds and a huge field for dogs and frisbees.

Atlanta Silverbacks Stadium

October 31, 2014 By Nate Shivar

Atlanta Silverbacks

I visited Atlanta Silverbacks’ stadium. It reminded me of a Minor League Baseball game. Super chill, cheap, up close action with pretty good players.

The Stadium is in an odd area where the most expensive cost is parking.

Updated – with Atlanta United, I’m not sure how long Atlanta Silverbacks will last, but they were fun while they lasted. They did show that soccer could work in Atlanta.

Photos of Atlanta’s Downtown Railroads

Railroads Leaving Downtown

Atlanta is a city founded upon and built by railroads. But unlike a lot of railroad towns around America – Atlanta still is a town with railroads actually running through it. It has several Class I railroads running right through and underneath Downtown Atlanta. Here’s a few pictures I’ve taken of them.

North Georgia Mountains

November 1, 2013 By Nate Shivar

Springer Mountain View

I took this photo somewhere in the Chattahoochee National Forest along the Appalachian Trail.

There’s a lot of outcrops and views in North Georgia, but I loved this view that highlighted the low, subtle, rolling ridges with the diversity of plant species.

Photos From The Rural Georgia Countryside

A Beagle Close Up

I’m not a photographer, but I love to experiment. And I’m thrilled to live in an age of nearly fool-proof camera technology, and amazing apps like Pixlr, PicMonkey, Picasa, and Instagram.

These are photos taken of rural Georgia in Oglethorpe County.
