Set amid the tranquil woodlands around Falls Creek Lake, the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel remains an inspiring tribute to Callaway Gardens co-founder Cason Callaway's mother. This chapel, reminiscent of 16th-century Gothic chapels, has a design that includes fieldstone quartz and other natural materials, plus six stained glass windows depicting the Southern forest in a progression of seasons. Its beauty is in its simplicity and in its setting that entreats you to spend a few moments in quiet reflection. Taken while on our May 2012 visit to Pine Mountain, Georgia. Hope you enjoy!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to comment, download or view this image of the quaint little chapel. It is in a remote location with the only sounds being the trickling of a little stream, the gentle breeze in the trees, and an occasional songbird. Anyone interested in a relaxing getaway with plenty of natural scenery should visit Callaway Gardens. We loved it! Thanks again, Hollis

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I'm a little late but a very hearty and well deserved CONGRATULATIONS! Hollis, such a stunning photograph. The title is perfect and in fact, the photo is perfect and so inviting. Thank you very much for sharing such a beautiful and tranquil place with us all. I could certainly get lost in that photo. :) ~Teri
