Last Monday I had the privilege of driving to Asheville for a Keep America Beautiful Meeting with Benson Kirkman. He was a great water tower spotter.We encountered our first water tower at the Mocksville exit off I-40. What a beautiful mix of color. The sky slightly cleared for good picture taking.
On our way back to Raleigh, we got off I-40 for a side trip when Benson saw many water towers in one area on the horizon. In the small former textile mill town of Icard, we took the following pictures.Do you see the other one in the background?
This was one of the 3 old textile mill water towers in the town.
This is the nearby town on Highway 70.
In Burlington we hunted down this water tower thinking it was the Burlington Mills tower below. I love how it fits between the trees of this empty manufacturing facility.
This tower has a great saying on it "Burlington Socks - the green toe seam".

I'm from Mocksville. Everyone I know detests that multicolored abomination of a water tower. To me it looks like it was painted with a spirograph. Mocksville deserves better design than something a four year old could have created.
