On the descent we flew by downtown Atlanta. Looking out my window I noticed that the shape of the city skyline resembled the shape of a mountain range.</p> <p>For me, this was enough information to see a connection between city building and mountain building. I’m currently studying geology and urban planning to learn more.</p> <p><i>* The image is Atlanta, Georgia over Mt.
