Photos from Georgia

Last weekend we were able to visit the heart of Georgia, Macon.  I didn't take a lot of photos but got some picturesque photos of the area.  Here is the Ocmulgee River, a very slow flowing, shallow river that runs near downtown Macon.

This is the trail to the side of the Ocmulgee River.  Isn't it beautiful?  That light post is actually a very tall pole but when the trees loom so much higher above the light pole it's hard to tell how tall everything really is...unless I put SM in the photo.

So I did take a photo of SM near the trees...that adds perspective, huh?!

And here I am singing with Otis Redding.  We are singing "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay."  When we got close to the statue an automatic recording started talking about Otis Redding.  It was a bit startling but interesting to listen to and soon the recording played some of his music.  It was neat!

We walked on the campus of the Mercer University.  A very beautiful campus with huge trees and interesting buildings.  And by "interesting" I mean that they were kind of cool and each one was different yet similar.  Oh, it's hard to explain.  I guess you'll just have to visit to see for yourselves.

Corner Stone of Mercer University.  Founded in 1838 at Penfeld, Ga.  Moved 1876 to Macon, Ga.

And I love cool trees.  This photo and the following photo are just photos of two beautiful trees on Mercer's campus.  So awesome!

I got a photo with SM in it...but you can barely see him.  But it does show how large the building really is...cool, huh?!

A final photo from Mercer's campus.  I almost felt like this was a modern castle.  BEAUTIFUL!

And I got a photo of this church from the car as SM was driving past.  It doesn't do justice to it and I'll have to get more photos of it at a later date but look at that building.  Wow!
