    This low spot on County Road 75 in Jefferson County, Arkansas, is now flooded. Most of the time it will be dry. On this winter day the angle of the sun illumiminated the trees behind the wet spot and put the trees in the foreground in the shadows. A spectacular and lucky find. You had to be there.

    Not far from the low spot is a barn at a rural residence. We believe the barn was originally built shortly after World War II. The current owner has kept up maintenance of the barn which is in current use as well, a barn.
