This elk has been in the town forever, but this past year the elk has been refurbished and installed as the centerpiece of the town. This elk frames Appalachia in the sense of this small town pride in the mountains. In the background you can see the historic elementary school and rolling mountains and once again the North Carolina pride of the state flag surrounding this elk even though about 100ft to the right there is another flagpole with the same flags raised high and proud. This is where every child in this town went to school in this picturesque location but as time rolls on is Appalachia move on too? #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/10821/43d8e3a4-45db-4b8d-a710-8a970ef6997f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![This is the headstone of Banner Elk, North Carolina.

I always remember of thinking of it as the park in the middle of the mountains. What I never noticed as a child was how every single aspect of this park was planned out and put there for a reason. Likewise before studying the photographic image I had never thought about how we construct a image and its affordances and constraints. One thing I really want to point out in this image is that while we have this beautiful park there is a huge ugly pipe in the middle of the photograph. It is part of the necessity of the planning of the park, just like the frame is a necessity of an image. We sometimes want to forget it is there but it is a necessary part of an image and still has meaning. #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/10821/b54ab56c-1521-40d6-a4f9-9bcb4b82d501.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Tate-Evans Park You can learn about the history of Banner Elk when you stop by Tate-Evans Park.
