Jesus and the cotton gin
In my mind, this shrine is called Jesus in a Box, although I am almost positive that’s not really its official name. (I mean no disrespect; it’s just what it looks like to me.)
I’d only stopped in there once before, in my long-ago non-camera days, so it was about time that my camera and I paid a visit.
And so, there was Jesus and a cotton gin across the way, which I guess sort of sums things up around here.

It’s probably just me, but I see a repetition of the Jesus shapes in the sign out front and what’s behind it. It’s just me, right?

John – unfortunately, it’s a cotton gin and not a distillery. If it were a distillery, it wouldn’t have taken me so long to make a return visit!

So glad you went back. Very interesting image indeed. Wither that is a “Gin” for cotton or spirits it gives me much to ponder.

I have to go back again, because there’s a very interesting thing going on with the holy water, but my photos aren’t very good. Stand by for more images…
Also, it’s cotton, not spirits. Unfortunately.

Striking image, and I like your name for it – and your summing up of “things around there”. A
