Images of Tranquility

                                                        Abandoned Tractor, White County, Georgia

I have a collection, or portfolio, of photographs that I call "Images of Tranquility." These are photographs that, for me, at least, invoke a sense of beauty, peace, order, and serenity. I've previously posted quite a number of them on this blog. The pictures in Monday's and last Friday's posts are two of them, and you can see some other recent ones here and here and here.

For me, these photographs are visual therapy, promoting a sense of inner calmness. I hope they will do the same for you.

Keith (?) Road barn and pond, Catoosa County, Georgia 

The old tractor was found beside GA Highway 75Alt north of Cleveland in northeast Georgia's White County during one of my photo-rambling daytrips in September, 2006, and photographed with a Canon 5D Classic. The lens was the Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L-IS.

The barn and pond on Keith Road were photographed sometime in the 1970s on one of my Sunday afternoon photo-rambles. The camera was a twin-lens reflex, probably a Rolleicord Vb, although it could have been a Yashica. (Also, the location could have been Cherokee Valley Road rather than Keith Road. Sorry -- I had not yet learned to keep notes about my photos.) The film would have been Kodak Ektachrome, because Fujichrome did not begin to take hold in the U.S. until the 1980s.

I'm posting a bit late today -- we had a serious thunderstorm and a power outage last evening. A small tornado hit about five miles south of us and took out some power lines and did some other damage.

Soli Gloria Deo -- For the glory of God alone

My book, Backroads and Byways of Georgia, is now out of print, although copies are apparently still available from Amazon, and possibly other sources. The second edition is now in the editing stage and is scheduled to be released on December 6th.
