I took a trip up to Rome on Saturday, and here are a few shots. Rome is the city where I had the pleasure of spending four years of college at Berry College.

This is the famous Rome clock tower, right in the middle of downtown Rome.

These are Confederate gravestones at Myrtle Hill Cemetary in Rome.

The Old Mill at Berry College

I got really lucky on this shot. I caught this snake in the Mountain Reservoir Lake at Berry College.
