Description
This photo captures the beautiful Nacoochee Indian Mound, Georgia (USA) at sunset after a day of heavy rain. Nacoochee Indian Mound is located outside Helen, GA.
The Nacoochee Mound is an archaeological site on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in White County, in the northeast part of the U.S. state of Georgia, at the junction of Georgia Georgia State Route 17 and Georgia State Route 75. First occupied as early as 100-500 CE, the site was later developed and occupied more intensively by peoples of the South Appalachian Mississippian culture from 1350 to 1600 CE. One of their characteristic platform mounds is located at the site. A professional archeological excavation revealed a total of 75 human burials, with artifacts that support dating of the site.

Felix, I love this image! I am familiar with the mounds on the Natchez Trace, and I first saw them when I was a young adult! The details, composition, colors, and subject are splendid! And I appreciate the facts of the description, too. l/f
