Autumn in Walker County, Georgia


Clearing storm over Lookout Mountain. Georgia Hwy. 193, Walker County.

Since I posted fall photos from north central Georgia in my previous blog, I thought I would post some from Walker County in northwest Georgia, where we lived for 33 years. These pictures were all made within 20 miles of our home in McLemore Cove, most of them closer than that.

 Ricky's Trees. Daugherty Gap Road, McLemore Cove.

 I call these "Ricky's Trees," because Ricky Smith, who worked for us during our last years at Deer Run Farm, had helped plant them many years ago when he was a young man.

Since these pictures were made with various cameras over a period of thirty-plus years, I don't remember all the specifics. I do, however, remember that the one at the top was made with a Canon EOS A2 camera and the great EF 80-200L lens, the one photographers called "the Magic Drainpipe." The film was Fujichrome 100D. The one at the bottom was made with an Olympus E-M5 and the Panasonic 14-140 lens, a bit magical in its own right.
