You always forget how big a mountain is until you see it in person again.

When I returned to Appalachia, it had been years since I’d seen a mountain. Living in the gentle, forested hills of East Georgia isn’t so bad, but I longed for behemoths to rise above my head and instill me with a sense of humility. So in October I traveled north again, to see the leaves turn colors and stand thousands of feet above my head.

I’ve been meaning to make this post for a while now. It’s been a fair set of days since I said “more are on the way” when I posted pictures of my trip to Appalachia this past autumn. Tonight I’m going to rectify this. 

In order to keep a consistent flow, I’m going to reblog the previous two photosets before this one.

Rabun County's Head of Tennessee Baptist Church

The Head of Tennessee Baptist Church in Dillard, Georgia, was founded in the 1820s, making it one of the oldest congregations in North Georgia. The first church was a log cabin built in 1827. The current brick structure was built in the 1930s, and it is the fourth structure for the congregation. The Digital Library of Georgia’s database contains one image of an earlier church structure.
