This has been an often visited spot for me. Over and over, I just have to go back and perfect my attempts at capturing it. And this is easy, because this is home, where I grew up. Not this building of course, but this small town, Montezuma, Georgia, USA. Never a large town, it has a population in the neighborhood of 5,000 people, and, like much of small town America, it has an uncertain future. Like myself, so few stay. There are so few opportunities there. But it has an old history, built around the railroad, literally. A nearby community called Traveler’s Rest, heard that the railroad would bypass them in favor of this site, and they moved their town to the present site of Montezuma, which was named after the Aztec king, according to local lore, by returning soldiers from the Mexican American War. The dates are close as the city was officially established in 1854. This early 20th century depot was the police station when I first remember, and after the city offices moved out, it decayed for years and the railroad threatened to raze it. Ultimately it was saved and houses a museum today, in a small town that owes it’s past to the railroad and its future… we’ll find out.

As mentioned before, this is an oft-visited site back home. This one, a night shot, comes with a small story. The town I grew up in is an odd little place, a mixture of moving forward and stagnation. I’m sure lots of little towns are like this, unsure whether they’ll wither or thrive. As with people, there’s beauty and ugliness to find. I tend to concentrate on the former. While I was taking this shot, I heard a voice from across the street, “Are you taking pictures of that?” I yelled back in the affirmative. A couple of similar questions. The last one she replied, “you know, it is pretty at night.” There was a sound of incredulity. As if she’d never noticed before. A second later, her friends stepped out of a nearby shop and I heard her telling them about me taking pictures of the depot and how pretty it was. There was an odd feeling of accomplishment regardless of whether the photo is worth anything to anyone other than me.

Railroad tracks and the memories of an old town Carnegie Library. This town library was donated by the steel magnate, Andrew Carnegie, to the town in 1907. It served as the city library until the 1980’s. The building still remains part of the community as the county chamber of commerce. I will never envision this building without the stacks and stacks of books on those old wooden shelves that filled the building, along with our town librarian, Violet Moore, at the helm. She and my parents instilled a life long love of books in this place.

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.

Framed by sycamore leaves in fall hues, Montezuma’s Castle sit high above a verdant little valley with live water even after a dry summer and fall. It’s easy to see why 50 or so people were happy to call this place home for hundreds of years. On December 8, 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt celebrated the passage of the Antiquities Act by declaring four sites of historic and cultural significance as our nation’s first National Monuments. Among these was Montezuma Castle. Now, approximately 350,000 people a year gaze through the the windows of the past during a visit to Montezuma Castle. Even 600 years after their departure, the legacy of the Sinagua people continues to inspire the imaginations of this and future generations. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18

Three years on from Old Tram Bridge, and we walked our way into Montezuma Falls again. 9.6 kms return, the falls are among the highest in Tasmania at 104 metres. I had another go at this shot with the canon 50d, with canon18-55mm IS lens. I tried several and this is one of two I was happy with. / /

One of the highest waterfalls in Tasmania. A return walk is 9.6 km long and about 3 hours duration. The waterflow has been incredlble of late due to the amount of recent rainfall.I took this image from a platform in front of the falls. Just managing to peek out from behind an umberella.

Original oil painting on 11 X 14 stretched canvas by artist Barbara Anne Applegate / It is located near Camp Verde, Arizona, in the Southwestern United States, features well-preserved cliff dwellings. They were built and used by the Pre-Columbian Sinagua people around 700 AD. Several Hopi clans trace their roots to immigrants from the Montezuma Castle/Beaver Creek area. Clan members periodically return to their former homes for religious ceremonies. The last known record of Sinagua occupation for any sites are for Montezuma Castle National Monument around 1425 AD. The reasons for abandonment of their habitation sites are not yet known, but warfare, drought, and clashes with the newly-arrived Yavapai people have been suggested. The five-story stone and mortar dwellings contain 20 rooms and once housed about 50 people. A natural overhang shades the rooms and shelters them from rain. Another part of the cliff wall bears the marks of an even larger dwelling, which has not survived. The dwellings and the surrounding area were declared a U.S. National Monument on December 8, 1906.
