I'm forever drawn to places where the Earth's geologic past has been thrust up from the mantle and opened like a crusty, craggy history book for all to read. The act of simply touching a rock formation that is hundreds of millions of years in the making and simultaneously connecting with the continent's primeval origins is both sacred and profound. Every layer of rock tells a story of its own. Against these accumulated histories, our mayfly existences barely register. Rock City at Coopers Rock State Forest is one of those very special places where the Earth has revealed her deepest secrets. The Pottsville Formation that underlies this part of Central Appalachia is estimated to be 300 hundred million years old. The massive slabs in the photos above are Connoquenessing sandstone, an erosion-resistant sedimentary rock that evokes the incredible drama of Earth's formation wherever it breaks through the crust.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO THE ONE PLACE WHERE IF YOU TOLD SOMEONE AFTERWARDS WHAT IT WAS LIKE THEY WOULD NEVER BELIEVE YOU? ROCK CITY GARDENS.

in all seriousness this is a very sweet combination of fairytales and Lookout Mountain’s natural beauty. I love visiting and it’s such a nice walk. in the winter, they have christmas lights up and it’s very fun even if you don’t celebrate christmas with all the lights and just. it’s so nice.

Ice Nine Kills + Skynd @ Nottingham Rock City - 12/6/23

Skynd [6] are an odd one for me, wasn’t sure if I would enjoy them, they have this persona, there’s very little crown interaction but that fits in with how they present. Very talented musicians but their music is not something I can see myself listening too but I’m very glad I caught the chance to see them and people seemed very enthusiastic for them.

Ice Nine Kills [10] absolutely smashed everything. They’ve come such a long way and they just seem to get better and better the more time goes on. Different props and masks for every song, dragging shower curtains out to stab people behind and actors to add to the horror effect. Their music is on point and just hits so much different live. The energy never stopped from start to finish, just an absolute showcase on how to command a crowd and put on a show!
