I found this water tower in the little town of Tallapoosa, Georgia. It't very close to the Alabama state line. For more sky pictures visit Tom.

I think this water tower style is the one most used throughout the US. I know we had one like it until recently when the city fathers and one mother decided to build a new one. And when it was up and working they cut the other one up into pieces and it came down.
This makes a nice sky watch photo with the sky and trees.
You have always interesting photos very unusual... and your peonie is just stunning ...we don't have them in Brazil ...i saw beautiful ones in China but this white one is somtehing...
So what does Tallapoosa mean, I wonder? I'm guessing it shares something in common with Tallahassee... hmm... The City of Tallapoosa site on georgia.gov says the city's name means "Golden Water." Tallahassee means "Old Town" or "Abandoned Fields". So I guess they aren't related at all. Different Indian dialect, I suppose, in spite of the common sound (us white folk probably spelled something wrong anyway!). :)
Hi Dot! I am finally getting on board for sky watch...but this is a tough crowd to follow...some very lovely and artistic shots...like yours...it is lovely the way you framed this!
It is amazing what we see when we look up! Often I find myself not reaching my sights sufficiently to discover wonders like this. Mind you at 5' 2'' maybes I need higher shoes.
Great one Dot. Thanks for your comment re my day...LOL!

Dot, everytime I see these, I am always in awe because I haven't seen one around here before so again... sweeeeet!
Have a nice weekend.
I like very much these tower shots.
Great photo and great sky.

I just love the bare trees in the foreground.
Nice water tower - sky shot!
pretty soon you will not be able to see the water tower, once the trees bloom. nice shot
I like your water tower like you like my water tower! LOL! :D
Yours is kind of a spooky shot now that you mention it. I bet we would have fun going on photo hunts together!
And we can see through the trees some pieces of blue sky!
Gorgeous!! Love your Water Tower pics ... always awesome! As I mentioned before, you have me noticing them and shooting them whenever I can!
Nice photo! The tree branches make such an intricate pattern against the tower and the sky.
Dot: Another great tower capture for SWF. Great photo.

Dot - you know I like these!
This is a great shot. I love it through the trees.
Hi, Dot! This is great. Looks like the tower is trying to hide from somebody!
These water towers take "Louis" back to his childhood in the Texas Panhandle.
"Louis" thanks you for visiting San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.
I love your water towers. This one is great. Your peony pictures below are outstanding!
Hi Dot,
The towers in the sky are great. Have a wonderful weekend.
Looks almost alien with the twiggy fingers grasping upwards! Heehee
Georgia, I think I've mentioned before that through you I've started seeing water tanks :)
Have a good weekend Georgia!! :)
Thanks for visiting my blog. This is lovely sky watch. Did the aliens landed? It looked like a spaceship. :)
Beautiful, among the bare trees. Love your peony shots too.

Water between the Sky and the Earth.
It looks like the tower is being swallowed up by the trees!

Hi Dot...I used to live in Marietta, so really enjoy visiting your blog...good memories.
Hi Dot,
A great photo.I love the way the trees appear to have grown round the water tower.
A very unusual feature around here - I would have thought it was some kind of enlarged lamp. Thank you for sharing!
wonderful idea for sky watch. great composition and shapes
Wow that was a great shot of the water tower thru the trees
This reminds me of the water tower in my home town. Good one!!!
It is amazing what we see when we look up! Often I find myself not reaching my sights sufficiently to discover wonders like this. Mind you at 5' 2'' maybes I need higher shoes.
Great one Dot.
Thanks for your comment re my day...LOL!
Great shot!
You are making the water towers in your area famous, LOL.
The grey sky ad the bare trees makes this water tower kinda spooky. ;-)
Nice shot of the sky and not to mention that water tower.
Tallapoosa is Choctaw for "Fried Chicken". :)
You always think of interesting things to take a picture of. Nice shot of the water tower.
OOOOOOOH .. looks like something out of a sci-fi flick .. great shot!

Very beautiful branches like a curtain and the tower behind!
Great photo. I like the way the tower is peeking through the trees.
Lovely shot Dot.
Thanks for the visit Dot.
Your water tower looks like it could have emerged from my green spaceship - a la War of the Worlds!
Cheers

This water tower looks like an UFO which would have landed on, searching trees to hide itself.
Great science fiction photo : )
