Between Editions

One of the first historical facts I discovered about the greater metropolitan El Dorado area after recently moving here was the role the first big oil hit in Smackover played in making this area a boomtown in the 1920s.

I was amazed at the size of the hole that first strike left in the ground, and upon visiting Smackover, I was impressed with the history and discarded equipment the oil business left behind.

Always on the prowl for “found” art, I took notice during a recent trip to Smackover of the abstract that comes with age that is perhaps ignored by those people closest to it and now take it for granted.

I feel the six images that accompany this blog entry show how beautiful age and history can be.
