Cotton, a few weeks before pickin’ time.

I took these on a trip home to Alabama in October of 2011.  Cotton is no longer the largest crop in Alabama, but there is still plenty grown in the Cotton State, as it used to be known.  This farm and old gin are on state highway 10 between Pineapple and Greenville.
