Foggy Reflections

The fog was out early one evening. This scene may look quite rural, but it's actually a small creek near the Wal-Mart.

Kristos

Kristos is a new Greek place that opened recently near our house. We tried it out a few days back. The food was okay, but the service was terrible. Mediterranean grill is still the top spot in the city for felafel and hummus - what people around here call "Greek" food.

Once Comfy Bench

I've shown you this bench before. The last time I saw it, it was covered with colorful cushions which made it a bit more inviting. Perhaps the owner of this shop now wants to discourage loitering. Or maybe it's just because the weather is cooling and less people are staying outside. I guess we'll never know!

Mysterious Doorway

I haven't done any theater for some time, so I was excited when a friend of mine called me up to ask if I wanted to be a part of a Mississippi Murder Mysteries production. We performed one of our standard shows and the crowd really seemed to enjoy it. I just might have to do another one of these soon!

Rossini's made sure to warn prospective diners that their resto was closed this evening for a special event. Ciel from Versailles always has a nice doorway to show you on Wednesdays, please stop be and see!

Senate Details

Details from the senate room at the old capitol building. I've shown you the Senators before, but here is a nice detail from the building itself.

Pink Pansies

I spotted these on the Belhaven campus awhile back. It's gotten pretty cold here in Jackson though, so not sure if they have survived our recent frost. I still have the picture to enjoy though.

Temple Details

This is a detail from the Hindu Temple in Jackson. I don't know anything about the gods and goddesses, but this one looks sort of important.

Halloween Reflections

You can see the reflection of my little jack o'lantern in the granite countertop. I miss Halloween already, well the candy at least!

Blue Skies and Grant

General Grant looks great under a blue sky! This is a monument to him inside the Vicksburg National Military Park in Vicksburg. It's a great place to visit, if you're ever in the area.

Floor Decoration

This is our last look at the Amtrak station for awhile. I think this floor mosaic is original from the old train station that was once here. It's sort of retro-cool in any case!

Amtrak Doorway

This door will take you into the ticketing office.

To see some fancier, older doorways please visit Versailles Daily Photo.

Waiting

Traveling always involves some degree of waiting. It looks like these folks are waiting for someone to pick them up from the Amtrak station. I hope it doesn't take too long!

November Theme Day: Public Transportation

I have shown you Jackson's bus service, the JaTran, before. Now here's a look at the only other form of public transportation that passes through my city, the Amtrak train. You can take it to Memphis or New Orleans. I have taken it myself once and it was a comfortable ride. I'll show you more of the station itself later this week.

To see how other bloggers have interpreted today's theme, please take a look at the CDP November theme day page. I also have some bonus public transportation shots on my travel blog, enjoy!

Flower by the Bridge

A solitary flower grows by the bridge over the lovely hole. I've shown you this bridge before here. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!

Old Beetle

I spotted this old VW in a parking lot the other day. It's amazing how tough these things can be. I think this is a really old one and I always enjoy seeing them!

Doorway Detail

This is a detail on the doorways at the War Memorial Building in downtown Jackson. It was built under the Works Progress Administration. These doors were hand cast in aluminum and depict different types of war instruments and the year they first came on the scene. It's a beautiful piece of work.

Red Man

A beautiful red man stops by for a snack.

Rose of Sharon

We have had a really mild fall so far, it's been it the high 80s most days. Because of that, a lot of flowers are still hanging around which is very nice. I spotted this rose of sharon in the Fondren area this weekend and got a quick shot for you to enjoy. So enjoy!

Bass Bridge

A small bridge inside our local Bass Pro Shop. It's not my favorite place, but sometimes you just have to go there!

Window Reflections

Reflections in a window at the old Madison Station Elementary School. It's such a shame it's not used for something anymore.

Secretary of State

This is the Mississippi Secretary of State's office. It's just across the street from the current state capitol building. The state and US flags look nice waving in the breeze.

Caroline Watertower

The watertower over Lake Caroline. I think these structures are the quintessential sight in American cities.

Temple Doorway

A doorway into the Hindu Temple with explicit instructions on what one is to do and not to do inside the temple.

You can see other fancy doorways at Versailles DP.

Blue Heron

A blue heron takes flight over Lake Caroline. A beautiful sight, indeed!

Cotton Flower

This is what a cotton bowl looks like close-up. I can't imagine what it was like in the old days when people had to pick this stuff by hand. I'm sure there were some bloody fingers.

Caroline Bridge

A little bridge in the residential area of Lake Caroline.

The Supremes

Now for the big finish, it's the supreme dudes of the Mississippi Supreme Court! This is the last in my series of these statues. I don't know if they were modeled on real historic figures or if they just chose generic old-timey men. In any case, the exhibit at the Old Capitol Museum is really interesting. And it's free!

I'll be out this weekend playing golf in Alabama. It looks like we're going to have good weather. Hope it's nice whereever you are too!
