I didn't want to waste the opportunity, so I took the day off from work and headed out to take pictures as soon as I dropped Elliott off at school. I thought that I could leave early enough where I could go and get a few pictures, and then be back with enough time to take a little nap. But I forgot that I was trying to leave the city during rush hour on a rainy day. Traffic on the freeway was backed up due to a few accidents and it ended up taking about an hour and half to make it out of the traffic jams around Little Rock.
Finally, after spending way too much time in the car, I was able to get out and get a few pictures. I think this is an old cotton gin, now abandoned and surrounded by a moat of tall plants.
I stopped in the small town of England and got a few pictures of this abandoned old house.
It's a neat place, which is being slowly covered with vines and ivy.
From there I headed further east, the vast fields and farms soaking up the rain.
While passing through Stuttgart, I saw this written on the side of an old grain elevator:
South of Stuttgart is an old rice dryer, which is easy to spot because it towers over the flat landscape around it.
It's a neat structure, but I wish I could find out more information on it.
Another old rice dryer sits nearby, also silently rusting away.
There was time for a few stops on the way home, like these silos sitting below some forlorn looking rain clouds.
And one last shot before I headed home to try to salvage some of my nap-time:
