Landscape #3 for WPC

The stunning beauty of the landscape in Mississippi, especially the southern most end of the historic Natchez Trace, is a surprise to most.

The town of Natchez is in a real double bind.

Tourists are drawn there for the natural beauty, the impeccably preserved antiquity, as well as gambling, right on the river, and are a mainstay for the town’s financial well-being. But the peace and solitude in places where the scenery leaves you speechless can be disturbed by floods of out-of-town visitors.

I only lived there for about three years, but it grows on you, grows in you, gets in your blood (and, if you’re not careful, will change your accent and vernacular!)
