Tragic Beauty

Toccoa Falls, Toccoa, Georgia, USA
This beautiful spot was the site of tragedy in 1977.  Toccoa Falls is on the campus of Toccoa Falls College.  After 5 days of heavy rains, a dam above the falls burst and killed 39 people on campus as they slept.  The dam was never rebuilt to ensure this would not happen again.
