Casey Jones museum in West, Mississippi.  This building originally housed the museum in Vaughan, Mississippi, an abandoned town that I've photographed several times.  The wreck that inspired The Ballad of Casey Jones occurred about a mile north of Vaughan on April 30, 1900.  The building was moved to West in 2008.

I'm not sure what you'd call this - too small to be called a thorn.  Maybe call it a barb or a sticker.  Whatever it is, I pulled it out of my thumb this morning.  It's smaller than a one point line - not much bigger than the dot of a 12 point letter "i".  I took this with a Canon 6D camera and an EF 24-70mm f/4.0L IS USM lens shooting through a Carson 10X loupe.

Used to be the County Line attracted any number of "beer stores" whenever one county was wet and another was dry.  That was the case when the Town of Sherman, in Lee County, Mississippi, sold beer while Pontotoc and Union Counties were dry.  That's changed with New Albany selling beer in Union County and so some stores "on the line" haven't survived.  I remember dropping into this store fifteen years or so ago, but it's been closed for some time now.  Photo taken on Bergger Pancro 400 roll film using a Pentax 645A medium format camera with a Pentax 45mm /2.8 SMC A lens.

Wooden Deck Bridge Over Twenty-Mile Creek
Wooden Deck Bridge Over Twenty-Mile Creek

Wooden deck bridge on County Road 1213 over Twenty-Mile Creek in north Lee County, Mississippi. Taking this with a cumbersome 4x5 large format camera, I was a little nervous when a truck came past me (only one vehicle the entire fifteen minutes I was there). Feeling the wooden deck flex as the truck passed by me was not a comfortable experience. Captured on Fujichrome Provia 100F slide film on a Toyo 45Aii 4x5 field camera with a Fujinon 150mm f/5.6 lens.
