Luminous
This was practically my favorite thing in all of downtown Eureka Springs – that translucent window at a restaurant, with a blurry patron on the other side. The trash receptacles outside the window added to the scene in a way that I liked.

Maps
Sometimes things that are intended to be useful don’t quite work out.
Maps to a large cemetery are a very good idea. And a rack to hold them? Genius!

So this is a weird fact: I descended about 2,000 feet to get to the Ozark Mountains.
We were about two weeks ahead of the leaves’ changing, but a rouge tree or two was getting a jump on the color, hinting at what was to come.
