We use photographs of the town, the public square, the Gold Museum and the mountains around Dahlonega to set the scene. They are not photographs of any condominium, and we never caption them as one. Each image below is listed with its title, author, licence and source page exactly as recorded when we licensed it. Images are cropped and resized for the web.

Film
- Home page film: a slow cut of real photographs (the mountains seen from Dahlonega, storefronts on the public square, the Gold Museum, a vineyard in Lumpkin County, fall color at the Chestatee Overlook) and the 1886 U.S. Geological Survey map of Dahlonega, with gentle zoom and dissolves. Nothing in it is generated, and no share-alike photo is in the cut; credits for each source are listed above.
