Central and South Georgia Rural Scenes

A gallery of images of various subjects collected from south and central Georgia. The main focus is on rural structures including barns, mills, houses and churches but also includes farm implements, landscapes and more. Many of the photographs were taken in the Bulloch County area of southeastern Georgia and most are black and white images. Some of the structures are interesting from an architectural view point, and, except for the landscapes, most are subjects that are products of past generations and which are rapidly disappearing.
