Over the years I've had a few wonderful opportunities to see some extraordinary things. I once had the chance to fly over seas and see Giant's Causeway. A wonderful intriguing part of the world where the rocks are almost all a uniform geometric shape.
And just on the other side of that wall big white waves crashed loudly on the shore. As I admired the beautiful world around me the mist and wind were so cold on my fingers, gripping tighter and tighter to my camera.
in that same over seas trip i had the chance to go to The Old Library of Trinity College in Dublin. There were so many old books. I wondered how many of them had really been read? How many of them were there? I loved the thought of being surrounded by so many stories. Stories and thoughts that meant enough to someone to take the time to write it down. ugh, the way that old smell filled the room!!
Although traveling far and wide is of course the dream. I never like to take for granted of the things in front of me. Below is South Pittsburg Tn. A super small town that most only drive through or past. Most over look it. To the people of South Pittsburg, however, it is so much more. Most would probably see this picture below and be able to almost taste the warm cornbread fresh out of the oven and deep fried Oreo's on a hot spring day. We look at the river and we think about our family and friends dragging us behind a boat. I had so much fun standing on top of that mountain staring down at all the streets every childhood friend had different stories about. My favorite part was watching the shadows from the clouds move across the land. emphasizing textures and hills. I waited for the clouds to move just right and create that little pocket of sunlight for the iconic Shelby Rhinehart bridge to shine!
I hope this encouraged you to take a step out of your home and admire the architecture and nature around you. Or maybe you read this and decided to go to Ireland! how ever it made you feel I hope it made you feel something! thanks so much for reading, check back next week for something new!
