7724: Stone, steel, glass

Being in conference, in meet-and-greets, in transit, Downtown, and jet lagged so far has not afforded a lot of nature photo opportunities in Atlanta. Admittedly, being in a city with buildings, men in suits, trams, Blacks, Latins, blondes, brunettes, redheads, celebrities, Obama's hope, Starbucks, shopping malls, 05:30 traffic, homelessness, Krispy Kreme, sales tax, the Braves & needing Mapquest are overwhelming for this lifelong island boy. So any man-made structure, architecture, stone, steel, glass, building, tunnel, and lights are strangely beautiful to me.


You are beautiful Atlanta!

admittedly overwhelmed.... I can relate to that right now. I have also seen things that I find strangely beautiful in this new city I'm living in, but it's almost too strange, too much to take in. Even my new school - all the halls, doors, rooms, floors - it's too big. I long for the small haven of the Saipan SDA school....... :(

This is the world we live in now. For me, it's the sheer number of choices that I find overwhelming. the grocery store, the teaching store, the many, many education resources and tools available, there's just so MUCH and it boggles my mind! I mean it's great and all but sometimes, I'm like: it'd be nice if there were just two or three things to choose from instead of a million.

Beautiful photos by the way. I'll be linking to this post in an upcoming blog for sure.

Oh I know the feeling! When I was in Philadelphia a couple years ago I was so overwhelmed! There was so much to see and everything was so new and beautiful to this island girl! Atlanta looks just as amazing! Thanks for sharing!
