It's been almost two years since I started this blog. It was a wonderful excuse to help me get out and become familiar in my new surroundings. In the meantime I've returned to teaching full-time and just can't seem to keep up with my photography. So, at least for now, I'm putting this blog to rest. Thanks for all your visits and nice comments.Meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09708378719636591685noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1952828854144935771.post-52602335046004103292013-07-16T06:00:00.000-04:002013-07-16T06:00:02.510-04:00Time For a Break<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Probably the most recognizable structure on Chattanooga's skyline is the Tennessee Aquarium. Although I'm a fan of old architecture, I love the triangular rainforest on top of this building and the haphazard bridges and waterways surrounding it all.Meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09708378719636591685noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1952828854144935771.post-1071362333505312132013-07-13T06:00:00.000-04:002013-07-13T06:00:03.918-04:00More Construction<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This summer has been more hectic than I thought and I've had a hard time getting out to take Chattanooga photos. Recently we've had tons of rain (over 6 inches this weekend). I'm pre-posting some of the flood pictures this week while I'm out of town. I won't be able to post any comments for a few days since I'll have limited internet access.<br />

Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. Cliff Palace was built by ancient Indians in this alcove. There are several sites in the park where you can view or tour these remains. The sites were inhabited until about 1300 and then abandoned. The people who lived here farmed the mesas above.Meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09708378719636591685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1952828854144935771.post-16407969945165005742013-06-24T09:41:00.003-04:002013-06-24T09:41:56.196-04:001984<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Volkswagen broke ground for a manufacturing plant in Chattanooga in 2008 and started production of the Passat in 2011 (with the 2012 model). Volkswagen's initial investment in Chattanooga was one billion dollars and that continues to grow with the success of the Passat.<br />
