2010- 500 Most Interesting Photos

An interesting church sign I ran across on a drive through the neighboring community. Cateechee, SC, May 2010

Old stretch of US Highway 178 between Liberty and Anderson, SC. Many accidents occurred along that old stretch of road and deep curve in the backwaters of Lake Hartwell- some of them fatal. They finally got around to re-routing the road to go above the Lake. This is the same curve where a car of Clemson students left the road and died when I was a kid. (So, let's see- 35-40 years later they finally fix it?) The area is growing up rapidly, but the bridge remains showing the old road path. NOTE: If you'll look carefully, you'll see that the "Penalty for Littering" sign was never removed.

I almost bounced into this guy while leaving for work. His colors are so bright that I just couldn't tear down his web and leave him for the birds. Besides, maybe he'll keep away some of the pesky door-to-door salespeople. :)
