I spent about 45 minutes here.
There is always something to make me wonder…what is over the next ridge?
In the next cove? All inside the walls of the Tennessee Valley?
For every highway, country road, or long-forgotten path, there is always another connecting road/path that takes me to things I do not know, have not seen…ahhh, which direction to take!
I saw dozens of huge spreads with beyond fabulous homes and barns, however, I try to not photograph and/or share places that are obviously occupied.
Being a photographer (albeit self-taught, with the help of a few professional ones) I can’t let a great shot go undocumented.
At all times I had taken winding roads to the top ridges, Sage Hill was below me in the valley.
A brief history…
Lincoln County, Tennessee
Lincoln County is a county located in the south-central part of the U.S. state of Tennessee. As of the 2010 census, the population was 33,361. Its county seat and largest city is Fayetteville. The county is named for Major General Benjamin Lincoln, an officer in the American Revolutionary War.
Time zone:Central: UTC-6-5
I drove for 3 hours and at no time was more than 45 minutes from Sage Hill.
There were a few short spans when I had not a clue where I was!
(when a young girl, I had this fear of getting lost, yet the yearning to go beyond the territory I knew has always been stronger than my fear. My mother told me once …child, you are lost only if you never show up again! To this day I hear her words when I realize I may be somewhat lost! Hahahaha!
Yes, I have the GPS, however, I am slow to use it-somehow I don’t fully trust “it” to know where I’m going!
In pictures….my jaunt through the beautiful landscape I call my 3rd home ground.
Enjoy ~
