King Cotton
This photo was taken in nearby Byromville, Georgia. This small town was founded in the 1850’s but not incorporated until 1905. This community today numbers less than 500 people. Once upon a time, this was a cotton warehouse bordering the tracks of the Atlanta and Birmingham Railway, completed to Byromville two years before its incorporation. This landscape photo speaks a lot of the quiet beauty of rural America and at the same time the lack of opportunity that exists in these small communities.
