The short answer

Every photograph on this guide is a real, credited photo used under its license: Lumpkin County mountains, roads and lakes, and storage buildings photographed elsewhere, each captioned with where it was taken. The home page film is cut from these photographs with slow pans and dissolves; nothing in it is generated.
