Silo, Candler County
As you can tell by things that I photograph, not everything I capture is literally vanishing. It’s still my focus and will remain so to document old farmhouses and barns, small town architectural landmarks, country churches and the like. But since population trends suggest that fewer people are living in rural America and more are being pulled into the cities for work, I think nearly everything that represents our rural heritage is worth recording.

The Peanut Farmer Mural, Colquitt
Famed muralist Charlie Johnston created “The Peanut Farmer”, the largest mural in the United States. It’s nearly 100 feet tall and covers virtually all 26,700 square feet of the Birdsong Peanut Company’s Colquitt silos. It’s one of numerous excellent murals in this friendly farming town.
