Picture of an old rust red tractor in a field in Autumn in Middle Georgia's rural Macon County

This weekend was the 13th annual Beaver Creek Festival in Montezuma, Georgia. I decided this year to both get a booth as well as enter some photography in the art show held in conjunction with it. The photos in the event had to be of local scenes, which was not a problem for me. The good news is that BOTH of my entries placed in the show! That’s a real honor in a home town show.

Picture of the 191 Peachtree Tower in Atlanta, Georgia

Pictured here is one of the office tower’s in downtown Atlanta. I love the architecture of this building. To my eye, it’s reminiscent of art deco or at least inspired by that architectural style, even if it was built in the early 1990’s. The angle in my photo of this tower was achieved from a neighboring observation deck.
