Bringing the World to You
This week, I decided to take one more walk around Atlanta for pictures! And… Well, let’s just say it was a perfect reflection of how 2020 has treated everyone.
Oh, yeah! And Merry Christmas!
All of these photos are available for prints!

Seeing the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C. was one of the highlights of our time in the nation’s capital. The opening of the memorial is a gateway of sorts. It is two large rocks with a walkway through the middle. When you walk through them, the two rocks pillar off to the side, as shown in the picture below. There are walls on either side that have famous quotes of King’s engraved on them. In the center, a huge bolder stands with the impression of the great Martin Luther King Jr. standing with his arms folded over his torso.
It is definitely a sight to see, but there is a hidden MLK gem that you might miss, if you don’t know what you’re looking for…
This inscription is on the top steps of the Lincoln Memorial, looking out to the reflection pool. The outline of the lectern that King stood behind to give the “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963 is present along with the following:
“I HAVE A DREAM
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON
FOR JOBS AND FREEDOM
AUGUST 28, 1963″
