Northern Georgia, Blue Ridge United Methodist Church
Blue Ridge, Georgia is a small country town, population 1,290, not far from Blairsville. There are lots of interesting shops and restaurants. It is easy to spend hours just exploring. Moving on, I spotted a prototypical small town church that obviously called for a photograph. When I was processing the image in Photoshop, I zoomed in to check the name — Blue Ridge United Methodist Church — but was surprised that next to the sign identifying the church was another offering the buildings and lot for sale (you can barely see the two signs just beyond the white car on the bottom right). That demanded a bit of sleuthing — and I found that they are building a new (and presumably larger) church nearby and so the old one is now on the market. Don't be surprised if, in its next life, it might become shops or a restaurant or whatever. That seems to happen a lot in Blue Ridge.
