Cotton Belt Thanksgiving | Thursday Nov 22, 2007

This is Thanksgiving Day in the US. The origin of the holiday began centuries ago at the end of the harvest season. Today, meals are prepared and families get together and eat turkey, bread stuffing/dressing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, etc... all topped off with special pies (my favorites are pecan and pumpkin :-)

While cotton is not eaten, it is harvested and King Cotton played an important role in the 'belt' states of the Southern US. This old water tower is located in Grapevine, Texas -- the site of the last few images involving railroads and cowgirls.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Comments:

great lighting and mood. feels more like an illustration than photo. the water tower reminds me of a coffee can. i once worked with someone who moved from Los Angeles to Grapevine. must have been culture shock.

I like this. Neat old tower and the processing is very nice. So, Texas and Arkansas both have a town named Grapevine. Nice:-)
