Today’s Photo: Marietta National Cemetery

Just outside the heart of downtown Marietta Georgia is a single knoll surrounded by chest high walls.  It is a quiet place among the bustle of a modern 21st century town.  On top of the knoll is a flag, a rostrum and a memorial to those who have fought and died for the sake of freedom.  Looking from outside the cemetery, you see row upon row of headstones lined up around the hill in orderly fashion.

The ruins at Sope Creek are pretty neat.  When I initially made it to Sope Creek, I was about 300 yards down stream from Paper Mill Road.  From this point, I thought the only ruins were on the other side of the creek and downstream.  That would have not been a problem, but it had been raining for several days and had just cleared up.  The creek was several feet above its normal level and there was no way I was going to cross.  I decided to try the bridge at Paper Mill Road.  When I got to the bridge, I found another part of the ruins that I did not know about.  Since I was running short of time, I just shot these and plan to go back for the ones on the other side of the creek.  This was a small creek that was beside the ruins and there was a small rock wall making a waterfall.

This is another photo from my trip to the Sope Creek area of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.  This shot is from Sibley Lake which is near the parking area.  I was walking around the edge and noticed the clarity of the water.  I almost could not tell where the shore ended and the lake began.

During my hike in the Sope Creek area of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, I ran across this small brook that emptied from the bottom of Sibley Lake.  I loved how the water just seemed to flow over the rocks and how clear it was.  There are very few creeks or rivers that are clear in North Georgia.  For as much rain as we have had recently, this was completely opposite from Sope Creek, which was completely muddy.

On the north edge of Atlanta is the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.  It encompasses about 50 miles worth of the river and some of the surrounding area part of that area is called Sope Creek.  There are old ruins of a paper mill right along the creek with many door and window frames still intact.  I decided to have  little fun.

Visiting a normal cemetery is not the same as visiting a military cemetery.  Yes, there is still lots of history and many stories behind the people under each headstone.  However, there are not many cemeteries that can match the orderliness.  There are row upon row of …Continue Reading Here…

After going through the Georgia National Cemetery, I decided to visit the Marietta National Cemetery.  I grew up in the Cobb County Georgia area and spent many days on and around the square.  At the time, I never took interest in …Continue Reading Here…

First Presbyterian Church, Marietta

Today’s Photo:  First Presbyterian Church, Marietta

Nearly every city has a “First” church and many have multiple “First” churches.  One for each denomination.  This is the First Presbyterian Church in Marietta.  It sits along Church Street with the First Baptist Church and several others.  Not all of the others are “Firsts” though.

A few weeks ago, I made it back through downtown Marietta for a few minutes.  While I was there, I took some shots from a church that I failed to get the name of.  Well, it is the First Baptist Church of Marietta.  It is a rather large church and has tons of details.  I could spend hours there taking photos.  This is of a little courtyard in between two of the larger buildings.

Aptly named Church Street in Marietta is lined with churches like this.  This is the St. James Episcopal church.  I was intrigued by the architecture of this church.  There are not many older architecture style buildings in this area.
