A lot of R. G. LeTourneau structures, if not all of them, were constructed out of steel. He was a prolific inventor of earth moving machinery, who also built structures with metal. Every once in a while I like to have what I call "looking for LeTourneau Day." Those are the days that we take [...]
Watson Mill Bridge is one of my favorite places for a Sunday afternoon drive. It's also one of the most picturesque parks in Georgia. This time I headed to the bridge during the middle of the week. I had a new wide angle lens and knew this would be the perfect place to explore with [...]

I don't know how I keep finding these fire towers, but they keep turning up everywhere. This particular tower is located in Bowersville, Georgia, not far from Lavonia.
