Over time the aging nineteenth-century train trestle in Athens, Georgia, became known as, simply, the \"Murmur Trestle,\" a global pilgrimage site for fans of the band. Removed in 2021 to make way for a pedestrian bridge and bike path, the trestle has been captured for the ages in this new collection of photographs by Jason Thrasher. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrasher spent six years focusing his lens on an immersive exploration of the Murmur Trestle, photographing it within its changing natural environment. His contemplative images encourage readers to engage in a visual meditation, urging them to closely observe and appreciate the details of the decaying subject. Thrasher's keen eye and patient observation reveal the wonders of details large and small and the harmonious interplay between wood, light, nature, and the seasons. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTogether with a foreword by Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers and \"Reason by Rot,\" an original poem by MacArthur Fellow J.
