PHOTO GALLERY  
| Be aware, that the Photo
Gallery is a very graphics-intensive page, with lots of photographs.
So if you haven't figured it out yet, it's going to take a while to load
on slower phone line connections. If you're an AOL user, call AOL
tech support for info on how to "uncompress" the images your
browser displays, so the photos will appear clearer on all of your web
pages. |
Ok folks, this is it... a
page just for you! No distracting backgrounds or other photos on
this page; just a blank pallet for your creative use! The photo
gallery page is for Powder Springs residents to post their own photos! A
place where you, your pet, or your creative juices, can be a star!
Here's how it works:
If you know how to attach a photo you've scanned, taken with a digital camera,
or have on a picture disk on your computer to an email, then you can click
---> HERE
<--- and send it to us
for the page. If you do not know how to do this, you can mail us a photo
to the address we list just below, and we'll scan it for you and put it on the
page! No pranks - you'll need a signed permission from someone if you're
submitting a photo of someone other than yourself. You must include your
name and email address in order for the photo(s) to be placed on the page, but
we'll only put your first name on the public page so privacy is maintained for
the shy.
You can mail your
photos to:
The Powder Springs Post

Christmas Open House & Tree
Lighting Photos, 2004:
Photographer Greg was at the
town square tree lighting and merchant open house this past weekend (12/4/04 )
and captured some shots of Santa, a great singer, and some merchants. As
always, click on the thumbnails to see a larger version, and explanations of
each photo are below the thumbnails.
PLEASE NOTE: The numbers below the pics may or may not line up
correctly with each photo depending on the resolution you have your monitor set
at. This is unavoidable as our program we use to make web pages doesn't always
take into account different people are using different sized monitors that
display things differently. If they appear misaligned, just count

Autumn Photos 2004:
We're not getting any autumn
shots from residents this year! Below is a pic by Greg taken in
front of the store at Country Walk (the light was added in the posts as they
weren't on). Please send us YOUR Autumn shots by clicking HERE.
6/27/04: "Country Gathering
2004".
This year saw the standard
fare of antique dealers, a band, some food vendors, and kid area. New this
year were a number of artists setting up booths in the bank parking lot, and it
was a welcome site to see. Too bad it rained out off and on so much.
Shortly after starting to take photos, we were drenched. I'd like to see
some folks vote on when this event takes place. It seems that each year in
summer when we have it, it's either hot as heck, or it rains. I put in a
vote to the powers that be, that this event be moved to October or November, so
it could maybe act as a "fall festival" type of thing. I'm
curious to see other's opinions. The pics are small this year, but
when you click a thumbnail as usual, a slightly larger photo will appear.
As per last year, the
blacksmith (3rd photo, Ted Vogelsberg of "Bird Mountain Iron Werks"
770-832-6913) did a good job looking mean for the camera. (But he's nice).
1st shot is of the antiques
area. 2nd of the artist market. 3rd Mr. Blacksmith. 4th one of
the shops, and where chair caning was being done. The 5th shows work in
progress of the new streetscape downtown on the sidewalks. Last are local
shops.
1/24/03: "Lighting of the Tree
in Town Square"
Oh, I FINALLY got around to
putting this pics up. I'll have to comment that this years Christmas tree
lighting seemed to be very scaled back over last years. There were no
lights strung from tree to tree in the town square, the sound system for the
singers died at one point, there were no smaller trees decorated by local kids
like last year, and due to the cold, the turnout was pretty low. Still,
there were a few things to see. The pics below are of the new tree, some
of the children's groups who sang, and one snapshot of Mayor Hulsey and the new
Mayor Vaghn. As usual, clicking on a small image will allow you to view
the larger version of it.
11/04/03: "Christmas
Open House 2003"
Here are a few photos of the Christmas
open house this year. Fewer businesses participated in it on the same
weekend this time around but a few photos are online. This includes the
restaurant now in back of Helen's antique shop!
10/04/03:
"The Avenue of West Cobb"
Photos of this new shopping area were to
be added to the gallery during this update, however, we were treated so poorly
by them when we tried to take photos of their Grand Opening weekend events, that
we have decided not to promote them. If you'd like to read about what
happened, you may do so by clicking HERE.
things eventually got a little smoothed over but
we're not going to add photos.
The annual "Country Gathering"
held recently drew a good attendance this year. Sponsored by local antique shops, it
brought out dealers, artisans, and food vendors. Thanks to the Country
Store of Seven Springs for starting the event, and all of the other antique
shops who were also sponsors for bringing this event here again this year.
Here are some shots.

The last photo shows one row
of the vendor booths at the event.
A recent Powder Springs police event at
the Publix shopping center raised awareness for "just say no".
On Saturday May 31st, there was a car show
(called "Cruise Night", to be repeated in August) in the town
square. Lots of folks showed up to show off their hot rods. Our
