In morning, two hike the summit of Arabia Mountain: DeKalb County, Georgia, USA. 20 October 2024.
Composed primarily of granite-gneiss migmatite rock, Arabia Mountain is a monadnock —"an isolated small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain." Its almost barren summit sits 955 feet (290 m) above sea level but rises only 172 feet (52 m) above the surrounding countryside of pine and hardwood woodlands.
The prosaically-named Mountain Lake is a reservoir created during 20th-century quarrying of granite, gneiss, and migmatite on Arabia Mountain, a monadnock in DeKalb County, Georgia, in southeastern United States.
Here, the lake is seen in mid autumn on 19 October 2024, looking down from a southeastern slope of the mountain. (Some of the rocky outcrop can be seen in the foreground.)
Overhead, a vaping deejay spins as, below, a climbing muralist paints.
As seen during the East Atlanta Strut, a street festival in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 28 September 2024.
East Atlanta Strut: Atlanta (East Atlanta Village), Georgia, USA. 28 September 2024.
The East Atlanta Strut, always on the fourth Saturday in September, combines a parade, a street festival with live music, artists' markets, and a 'porchfest' to show off the entire neighborhood. East Atlanta also has a thriving business district, with restaurants, bars, and shops showing off more local music and art.
Since its inception in 1988, the East Atlanta Strut has been completely run by volunteers. That allows the Strut to return 100% of its profits to the community. More than $100,000 has been donated in just the last few years — for programs that assist the unhoused, groups that feed people, organizations that help keep our longtime neighbors in their homes, and to support our local fire station and library, pet rescue groups, child mentoring groups, local schools, arts organizations, and neighborhood beautification projects.
