Berry College is known for the largest campus in the world.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 acres and the majority of it is undeveloped.  I was fortunate enough to spend a little time there during my college years and spent many days riding my mountain bike around Lavender Mountain.  There are so many beautiful places there that it is hard to list them all and it would take weeks to post them photo by photo.  However, one of my favorite is the Old Mill.  Located at the base of Lavender Mountain, the Old Mill still rests on a small pond.  Although it is closed up and not running, it makes for a beautiful photo location.

North Georgia is full of all kinds of barns.  I found this one in the Ellijay area a few weeks ago.  It looks like the owner likes cutting grass about as much as I do.  It gives a little character to the dilapidated looks of the barn.

When I was growing up, the common definition for antique was that something was over 20 years old.  Now that I have passed that mark by a good margin, I believe my definition of antique is changing.  I think of antique as something that was old when I was 20.  It seems to keep me from getting too old.  That lasts right until I speak with someone about an event or person that was significant in my youth and they have no clue as to whom I am talking about.  Hopefully, I have not made too many people feel too old today.

It is odd how ruins of a building can tell so much about what it used to be, but still leave out so much.  These ruins are just north of Atlanta and used to house a papermill.  There is not much left other than a few outer walls from the building and nothing of the inside rooms.  After having been inside manufacturing plants, it’s hard to believe that this would have been the equivalent many years ago.

I like to explore old towns.  I would classify downtown Blue Ridge Georgia definitely as an old town.  It is so much fun to explore the old architecture.  Sometimes you even come across something that tells a little about the history of a building.  There wasn’t anything telling about the history of this building, but the facade tells a little about it.  I’m sure many people have visited this building.  If the walls could talk, I’m sure they would have tons of stories to tell.

Today’s Photo: Christmas in Calhoun

It is too bad that Christmas lights are only up for about a month.  I wanted to visit so many more places, but did not have the time.  This is the county courthouse in Gordon County.  I decided to shoot the Christmas lights in downtown and invited my sister.  We were walking around the courthouse when she showed me a photo she had taken.  I thought it was so good, that I had to go back and steal that composition… This is it.

I love driving through the countryside in the south.  Once you get off the beaten path, the history of the area is plain to see.  I found this barn a couple months ago.  It is obviously old.  If I had the time to sit and listen to the stories it could tell, but I don’t have several years.  So, I just settled for capturing a photo of it and imagining the stories.

A benefit of living in North Georgia is the plethora of old barns.  Within a mile, you can find everything from a falling down wreck to something much newer and standing strong.  Mostly, it is not the newer ones that give character to the landscape, it is the older ones that have many years of weathering to tell about.  I found this one on one of my drive through the mountains.  If only its walls could talk.

Today’s Photo:  Grazing Cows

Growing up I always heard of “old wives” tales and other stories of how to tell the weather.  Things like the leaves turning over, the sun being red in the morning and many others.  Several months ago, my wife ran across one that said cows lie down when it is supposed to rain.  I can confirm, that is an “old wives” tail.  I pass these cows and many more nearly everyday.  There is not rhyme or reason as to when they are lying down.  I have seen them standing through thunderstorms and the entire heard on the ground when it was bright and shiny and had been for days and was afterward for days.  However, it is kinda fun to pretend to be the weather forecaster and I find that I am right as much as they are.

I have shared many photos from my time at Old Car City USA.  I was going through them the other day and noticed that I had not shared any of the facilities.  The majority have been of vehicles.  There are several buildings around the …Continue Reading Here…
