Sunset Over Savannah ...

“Georgia, Georgia

The whole day through

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind …”

      ~ “Georgia on My Mind”

     ~1930 song written by Hoagy Carmichael & Stuart Gorrell and first recorded that year by Hoagy Carmichael. It has often been associated with Ray Charles a native of Georgia who recorded it for his 1960 album “The Genius Hits the Road.” In 1979, the State of Georgia designated Ray Charles’ version the official state song.

A beautiful late October sunset colors the southern sky over Savannah, Georgia ~ one of my very favorite cities ~ as viewed from my window seat on Delta Airlines. I snapped the view with my cell phone before landing at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Savannah and added background texture by Jai Johnson for artistic effect.
