FOUL WEATHER

The past few days have been dreary here in Northern Virginia. We had a break between snow storms with just some light rain. I decided to venture out into the woods behind our apartment community to see what I could find. Here is what I came up with.

Juliet, Georgia

Last week my Wife Heidi and I got a chance to go back home to Georgia were I grew up. Everytime I get back down to Georgia I try to take an opportunity to get together with my good friend Evan. We went to one of our favorite spots in Juliet, Georgia. If you are not familiar with this place it is the location of the famous Whistle Stop Cafe from the major motion picture "Fried Green Tomatoes". I actually have a picture of the two of us standing in front of the cafe taken several years ago which I will include in this post.

Well, we headed out before the sun came up in order to get to our destination earliy enough to catch the fog as it rolled in. We arrived just in time.

Once daylight broke through, we began to get discouraged for a lack of anything worth shooting. By mid-morning we began to just drive some back roads when something caught my eye. I told Evan to stop and at that time he caught a glimpse of what I saw. To our surprise it was an small cemetery plot of what appeared to be a family with graves dating back to the 1800s. We decided to go check it out and see if there would be any good photos to be shot from this sight. We carefully made our way through the woods being as respectful of the burial grounds as we could. This really turned out to be the find of the day. While I didn't get any photos of the graves themselves, I shot some unique photos of the antique iron fence and some surrounding nature. It turned out to be a memorable day.
