Well, here we are headed out from this jackpot of old homes, farms and such. Will be hitting the blacktop soon. Hope you have enjoyed this short visit.
The other day , while out on a photo shoot , I stopped at this cute tourist attraction gift shop to use the restroom. The woman inside said I would need to purchase something before she would unlock the restroom door . After a few heated words ( HELL NO ) I abruptly left leaving a large doughnut shape circle in there
gravel parking lot …. Shame on me .
Landrum, SC
Even though the roads were horrible and filled with crazy people, I got out to shoot this beautiful bridge in NE Greenville County.
From what I've read the red paint is not historically accurate for this bridge, and the county painted it to disguise the extensive repairs. I for one am glad they did.

Station Cove Falls at Oconee Station State Park in the beautiful Upstate of South Carolina. We had so much rain lately that I would have been quite ashamed of myself if I hadn't gotten out to photograph at least one of our bazillion Upstate waterfalls.

Vietnam veteran U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Arthur Ballard holds a POW/MIA bracelet that was worn in his memory for six and a half years while he was a prisoner of war in the infamous Hoa Lo prison, aka the "Hanoi Hilton". Nearly five million of the bracelets were distributed in the early 1970's as part of a campaign to keep the memories alive of those missing in action in Vietnam. When the POW's who finally returned home, people would mail them the bracelets that had been worn in their honor. "When we came home, it was one of the most emotional things that happened," said Ballard. Ballard, an F-105 fighter pilot with 68 combat missions under his belt, was shot down and captured on Sept. 26, 1966. "I think it was small arms fire, maybe 32 or 57 millimeter. The sky just filled up with that stuff. I don't remember a whole lot about the bailout. I woke up on the ground with a broken leg, and a rifle stuck in my face." He was finally released on March 4, 1973. (Photo by Ken Scar)
