For Rent by Richard G Witham
An empty corner in Downtown Clarkesville, GA. The major highway that runs through this small north Georgia town was diverted to make room for a four lane. The locally owned shops that once thrived at the center of town have fallen to a struggling economy and commerce moving out to the big, warehouse discount stores in the suburbs.

Faulkner's South by Mark Tisdale
A house in Montezuma, Georgia, that I have stalked a bit too much, but I think I finally got the image I was after. The house is being restored, but it’s still got just the right amount of decay and old dignity to make me think of how Faulkner would have described it in a story.

Elder's Mill Covered Bridge by Janie Oliver
The Georgia Historical marker for this covered bridge reads: Built in 1897 by Nathaniel Richardson, this 99 foot long bridge originally carried the Wakinsville-Athens Road over Calls Creek. It was moved here in 1924 and the road was relocated to its present site. The nearby c. 1900 grist mill ceased operation in 1941. Constructed in the town lattice style , the bridge’s web of planks crisscrossing at 45- to 60-degree angles are fastened with wooden pegs, or trunnels, at each intersection. It is one of only a few bridges in Georgia that still carries traffic without help from underlying steel beams. 2001.21 / Elder’s Mill bridge, is located in Oconee County, Georgia.

Hurricane Shoals Covered Bridge by Janie Oliver
The original covered bridge came about in 1882. For the mere cost of $1,423 including materials, Hurricane Shoals had a covered bridge for civic pride and community functions. It was an original town lattice design. This bridge was a major landmark up until an arson fire in 1979 when it was destroyed. Citizens of Hurricane Shoals rallied and formed the “Tumbling Waters Society” to oversee and spearhead the development of a park in the area adjacent to the Hurricane Shoals Covered Bridge. The new bridge was completed in 2002 and has one span that is 127 feet long. It is made from the original historically accurate town lattice design yet put on a steel frame for added fortitude. This is a beautiful bridge that is a wonderful backdrop for family gatherings and photo opportunities due to the fresh new construction.

Decked out with Christmas Lights by Janie Oliver
Euharlee, Georgia The Euharlee Covered Bridge, also known as the Euharlee Creek Covered Bridge or rarely the Lowry Bridge, is a bridge crossing Euharlee Creek in Euharlee, Georgia, a small town west of Cartersville. The bridge was built after the raging creek swept away an old bridge on the property of Daniel Lowry. The collapse of the bridge killed one man. A new bridge was built using some materials provided by Lowry. / The bridge was built in the late 1800s by Horace King’s son Washington King and another man. Traffic finally stopped across the bridge in 1980 when a new two-lane bridge was built. This bridge is listed on the list of Georgia Historical Markers. GHS 8-1 at bridge, county road 30, off Ga. 113, Euharlee .

Sixies Mill Closeup by Janie Oliver
Sixes Mill is the site of one of the earliest settlements in north Georgia. The mill that stands today was rebuilt between 1878 and 1880. Perhaps as early as 1819 a group of white gold miners lived on or near the site of Sixes Mill. Although no mention exists that they were mining gold, it is very likely that they were. This was at the southern end of the gold belt that runs through Dukes Creek. In 1830 federal troops reported an established community of settlers. It is possible that a mill existed on this site at this time. After the gold land lottery (1832-33) a mill was constructed to serve the needs of the local farmers. The mill survived the Civil War, and in 1878 the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad began to build a railroad through the county from Knoxville to Marietta. It was during this time that the mill was almost entirely reconstructed, including the addition of the iron mill wheel.

About This Group
Mission Statement
This group’s mission is to showcase the diversity and beauty that personifies the beautiful state of Georgia. As the largest state east of the Mississippi River, Georgia has a wide range of photographic opportunities from idyllic scenes of rural America in the south to picturesque sites of the gold rush era in the Appalachian Mountains to the north.
If you are a visitor to this group, then you probably know that Atlanta is the most famous city with its world’s busiest airport, world’s largest aquarium, and civil war history. However, you might not know that Georgia has 100 miles of coastline dotted by undeveloped and pristine islands with the famous Cumberland National Seashore as a shining crown of ecological preservation. Providence Canyon near the town of Lumpkin in the middle of the state covers 1,000+ acres with 15 separate canyons that have colors that can rival the big one in Arizona.
From Lake Blackshear’s 8,700-acre shoreline recreation area in southwest Georgia to the tallest cascading waterfall this side of the Rockies at Amicalola Falls in the north Georgia mountains, the photographic opportunities are endless.
Whether you are a member or a visitor, enter now and prepare to be amazed by the beauty of Georgia, the Peach State. When you leave you will forever have Georgia on Your Mind.
Welcome to Georgia!
