Also a couple of years ago, I went with my family to Alabama for Christmas Vacation. I thought that was really weird until we went to the Rosa Parks Museum and MLK Museum and stumbled upon this piece of stone that I snapped a pic of. This is my final source of inspiration and I picked it because of it the symbolism is that it stands for and the design is really simplistic yet really cool with her name and the outline of her footprints.

I visited Arlington National Cemetery a couple of years ago with my family while we were in Washington, DC and it was really cool. This is a picture I took of JFK's grave stone and I chose it as my 4th source of inspiration because of the cool carving into the stone that forms his name and year of birth and year of death and because of how JFK impacted this country when he was alive and I thought it would be cool to share for this blog project.

I came across this picture a while ago on the internet and I thought it was really cool and the message behind it is really cool and inspiring. That being said, I love this picture for reasons of my faith, but I also just love the design of it, putting a bunch of words together right next to each other to form a cross and having the background be a solid black is both simple and helpful to focus on the middle. All the words are in white except God, who is at the center and that is even more inspiring to me #unashamed.

This is my second source of inspiration. I love the colors that glow from behind the words and the actual words are an inspiration for my life as a Christian and as a person who cares about the world in so many different ways. I am unashamed of my faith and willing to post about it not to try and shove Christianity down people's throats but to give a declaration of my faith. This is a bible verse that means a lot to my life and to a lot of people close to me and it is inspiring to me each and every day.

1. Turner Field- Home of the Atlanta Braves 



















Turner Field is home to the Atlanta Braves of the National League East Division of Major League Baseball. Turner Field is in its final season of usage for the braves, as the city of Atlanta is currently building a new stadium to better handle the incoming traffic for games with a substantial increase in parking space. Turner Field opened in 1993 for the Olympics and was reconverted for baseball in 1997. Nicknamed, "The Ted", this park can hold up to 49,586 patrons per game, making Turner field the 4th highest capacity in all of the MLB.
