"Georgetown is the third oldest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina and the county seat of Georgetown County, in the Lowcountry. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 9,163. Located on Winyah Bay at the confluence of the Black, Great Pee Dee, Waccamaw, and Sampit rivers, Georgetown is the second largest seaport in South Carolina, handling over 960,000 tons of materials a year, while Charleston is the largest.
Beginning in the colonial era, Georgetown was the commercial center of an indigo- and rice-producing area. Rice replaced indigo as the chief commodity crop in the antebellum area. Later the timber industry became important here." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
Now on Instagram.

I recently had the opportunity to serve as the photographer for the Etihad Airways Triathlon event at Georgetown Cupcake. Not only did I have fun interacting with the customers, staff, and flight attendants, but I had the opportunity to witness the behind-the-scenes to the gourmet cupcake making process. And yes, I was full from cupcakes at the end of this shoot!

Georgetown Colorado.
Georgetown is a mining town in Colorado. It's not too far from Denver. Gold mines were used here as early as 1859 and a few years later silver was found. Before the 1893 silver boom collapse there were 10,000 people is this town, and area. Most of them then moved Denver.
The elevation is about 8500. The population now is about 1000. The main part of town is about one square mile. There is also a well known train tour through a loop here, but I did not take it.
There are plenty of old buildings and victorian houses, shops, restaurants and museums, churches and the old school house. The town still keeps it's old small town charm.
There were a couple movies filmed here, including one that shows the colonial post office. The movie with the PO was Phantoms in 1998. Any Which Way But Loose with Clint Eastwood had some parts filmed here. It was the scene with the showdown of Clint's character and the Black Widows motorcycle gang. Also a Christmas TV movie with John Denver was filmed here.
I took about a dozen photos and will post them. I'd like to go back one day in the morning. I had the sun on half of the town, leaving the other half shaded and dark.

This was done for Shari Blaukopf's Seattle class last weekend. We were asked to use a limited triad of colors. I really like this building which has a row of windows and doors with colored panes. I think it was part of the old Georgetown brewery.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad operates over a former Colorado & Southern narrow gauge line between Georgetown and Silver Plume, Colorado. It "loops" back over itself via the Devil's Gate Viaduct, which was rebuilt in 1984 (the original was in use from 1884 until 1939).
Locomotive No. 111 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Penn., in 1926 for the International Railways of Central America. It is very similar to the locomotives once used on the Georgetown Loop, although it is an oil burner (most C&S locomotives burned coal).
These images show books and current art exhibits at the Public Library in Georgetown, Central Texas. The photographs were taken with a vintage all manual Nikon 135 mm f2.8 AI-S prime manual lens as well as a very capable 28-105 mm f3.5-4.5 zoom auto focus (AF-D) lens.
Unknown building, possibly a hotel or restaurant. Probably in Georgetown.

Compared to places like Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, buildings in Georgetown seem to be decades older. It all seems to be right out of the fifties, which is fine for me because it gives the city a certain flair that both mentioned places lack.
In this picture, I love the odd colors of the Syarikat Boon Wah building.
