Georgia never ceases to amaze me. Not only does this state feature some of the most historic spots and some of the most beautiful places, it’s also full of places that look as if they’re straight out of a fairy tale story book! For example, the Swan House in Atlanta is a magnificent mansion that inspires even Hollywood directors, and the architecture at Berry College makes everything feel so magical. Create your own fairy tale when you check out these 10 magical spots in Georgia.
1. Swan House - Atlanta History Center, 130 West Paces Ferry Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30305
The Swan House is a magnificently made mansion that was built in 1928 for the Inman Family. The splendid gates, the manicured lawns, and extensive history has made The Swan House one of the most photographed destinations in Atlanta. This mansion was even included in one the "Hunger Games" movies. How's that for a fairy tale setting?
This gushing creek makes me think of a dark forest where magical creatures run abound! I could totally see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs running around Panther Creek.
Do you live in a part of Georgia where you can clearly see the sparkling stars in the sky? If not, you definitely should make it your business to climb on top a mountain in order to witness this breathtaking spectacle shown above. You can see the entire Milky Way Galaxy in all its glory in this scene!
5. Georgia Guidestones - Hartwell Hwy, Elberton, GA 30635
The fascinating Georgia Guidestones in Elberton are surely a source of mystery. Let your imagination run wild when you visit the stones. This scene also is shot with the Milky Way stars twinkling in the sky above.
This beautiful clock tower is as gorgeous as it is historic. In the words of the photographer, "The Clock Tower in Rome Ga. (was) built atop Nelly Hill originally as a water tower. It was constructed shortly after the Civil War and Sherman's destruction of Rome. It serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit." - raserton
Driftwood Beach is another source of mystery as its strange and unusual ornaments dazzle visitors and photographers alike. This tree graveyard is the perfect setting for a magical story.
This oak lined road to the historic ruins of a Colonial estate and gardens bend in a way that seems almost supernatural. This dreamy photo perfectly captures the essence of this magical-looking road.
10. The Appalachian Trail
Doesn't this image pop into the mind when one thinks of the road Little Red Riding Hood took to visit her grandmother? This beautiful photo was taken on the Appalachian Trail after a cold winter frost.
