Delta, Fuji x100s

A little Delta Color

More Fuji x100s photos from the Delta… Color this time!  One thing I noticed this last trip was just how much color there is in the Delta. It seems like in a place that has a lot of sameness in the landscape, one way to spice it up is to put some color on it!

I don't recall seeing a stop sign suspended like this before

Window surrounded by brick and color
I wonder what the color history is of this building
Stop sign peppered with shotgun pellets
Not sure what the point of shooting up signs is…
Delta restaurant with stuff on the sidewalk
The owner of the Blue Biscuit said he got the couch at an estate sale for Elvis’ estate. I figured it was a tall tale, but….

Homemade sign for a small church. I noticed the beer bottles below it before I noticed the spelling errors.

Black and white mail boxes, one with bullet hole

Crossroads near the Dockery Plantation
This is one of the crossroads that may have inspired Robert Johnson’s song about selling his soul to the devil to learn to play music. This one is near the Dockery Plantation. There are at least 4 crossroads that have this story attached. The intersection of 49 and 61 near Clarksdale Mississippi was not in existence at the time Johnson was alive. Some folks ignore that fact when they say that was the one.
