Forgotten Highways

The highways were packed on this trip home due to holidays. So, I decided to try something different and drove the 100+ miles from my home north of Atlanta to my folks house south of Macon using surface roads. No interstate expressways. The Atlanta part was interesting. It’s not like old highways were straight, but I’m pretty sure the city of Atlanta and the interstates that runs straight through downtown had broken it up even worse. It was a maze of poorly marked streets. It began to get dark by the time I got out of the city proper, but I took “0ld 341” just because I wanted to see what Culloden looked like since it was apparently named for the Scottish battlefield I had visited months before.

In the twilight, I managed to take a long exposure of this lovely old gas station decaying along the side of a forgotten highway.
