A Driving Tour of Prairie Grove, Arkansas . . .

Fewer words today, lots of pictures...

This picture kind of sums up the mood of the photography today.

Old & busted.


Prairie Grove, Arkansas is definitely an interesting place. Not exciting, but interesting.

First, we visited the college at Cane Hill.



Allegedly the first college in the state of Arkansas - but then was moved to Fayetteville.



There was slight rain, so to protect my camera, I wasn't spending much time framing or looking for different angles.



The bell tower was really messy inside. It basically became a dumpster.



You can even see the graffiti. Nice.



Ched said that they have festivals here every year. Here is where all four people who come actually get to sit down.

I wonder if they fight over the tall seat.




Then we visited a cemetery.




This was a very creepy place. Very old & rustic.



We saw a few masons tombstones.





Next was the old Flour Mill outside of the Cane Hill village...



These running water pictures are taken at about a 1 second exposure. Also with an aperture setting of F32. Which for photographers out there is about as small an opening as I could do on my d60. Anything much longer was over exposed, even on the overcast day.



I crawled down to the creek bed....the mill is much more interesting from there.












Finally, we took the driving tour ("Battle Tour") of the Battle of Prairie Grove.







So, I found out this little humble town has quite a bit to be proud of...

until next time...
