Cotton fields, Crossroads & A Bridge

As we took off to explore Clarksville & Batesville MS

we found cotton fields as far as the eye can see.

 And work was in progress.

 Machines doing the pickin'.

 And the cotton gin where all good cotton balls

go to become awesome clothes.

 Rolled with some B&W because it just 

seemed cooler of some

structures around the town.

 Isn't this mural gorgeous?

 And the ground zero blues club that was closed

when we swung by so the only blues

we heard was on the radio.

Sigh.

And the crossroads sign signifying

the beginning of the blues. 

 Raise your hand if you remember the song

"Ode to Billy Joe".

Well this is not quite the same Tallahatchie bridge

he jumped off of.

It's the new one as the old one collapsed

in June of 1972.

This is the underside because quite frankly the

top wasn't very interesting.

There is supposed to be a plaque commemorating

the bridge but we couldn't find it.

You'd think they'd be more creative with this bridge.
