Gung Hei Fat Choi!

Rural small towns in the Deep South: you will find churches, but not usually this large and fancy.
You will also find evidence that there used to be more buildings.
Go far enough south, and you will see Spanish moss (not a moss at all) festooning the trees, often oaks.
Monocropping trends towards trees and…
…cotton (decorative sample). Also pecans and sometimes peanuts (neither pictured).
The soils tend to be sandy, sometimes nearly white. You may see horse hoofprints.
And you know you’re in a small town when the restaurant puts the game to keep the kids occupied out in the street.
* (Chinese) Happy New Year!
