Charlotte TN., and Montgomery Bell State Park

Monday, I decided to head to 

Charlotte TN., county seat of 

Dickson Co., which is one of the 

counties around me.

As I headed to Charlotte, taking

the back way from my house, I 

past this church. Once I passed it,

of course, I had to turn around and 

go back to see what sort of 

pics I could get.

I moved around to get a view of

the church with the tree, making for

a cool shot.

Check out the beautiful

colors!

Just made me feel great riding around

viewing all the colors.

 

I hit Charlotte and sort of drove

around a bit. I have not been to 

Charlotte since the mid 80s.

A woman I worked with in 

Printing was from Charlotte.

Debbie Brewer, also from printing,

and I drove to see Ann once. 

Ann lived in a unique home.

Ann's home was a church.

But moving on, I found this 

old looking building. No signage to

tell me what this building houses or

what it used to be.

Course, the buzzard on top got

my attention.

I stopped in square to walk around.

Across from the courthouse is 

this store. 

I did not get to go in, it was closed

but they also have a for sale sign in 

the window.

I would have LOVED going in,

just check out the stuff on the outside.

 The cool thing was that I have never

seen a square where houses surrounded it.

This was one of the homes across 

from the courthouse, used to be a business

and now it's a private home.

In 1849, this was a general store.

I failed to get a pic of the whole house,

oh well!

But it is a private home now and 

used to be an Inn back in 1850.

Cool courthouse, I did not see

any signage about the yr it was built.

But, it looks like an 1800 building here

in the south.

I am always in for a shot that incorporates more

than one vocal point. 

Hence the shot below, the top of 

the courthouse and a gazebo. 

 Or trees...

I fell in love with these...

where cowboys tied their horses

up at the front of the courthouse.

There was a whole line of them, 

so, wanting that different shot, 

I shot through one to the others.

I love gates, I found a couple

of old ones in Charlotte.

This first one looks to be really

old.

 

But then again, what I can see 

of this one below, it appears

to be fairly old also.

Although I saw a lot of colors, I found

more in Montgomery Bell State Park.

Lake one in the park.

 

The path I walked to the lake.

Ferns all over the place,

all appeared to be growing on 

rocks.

 

I love Montgomery Bell, 

it is one of the prettiest parks around.

Have you been out looking

for colors!?
