This is the rural South

Here are a few more photos from that bone store where Light and I practiced our photography. This is the basket of flowers that was hanging from the porch roof.  I don't recognize them. Anyone have a clue?  
This wasp and a few of his closest friends were having a nectar party among the blooms.
The south end of the porch
This was prominently displayed beside the entrance to the store.
What do you think?


Here's a distance shot of the components of the previous two pictures.  I have no clue what the idea is with that pole and the reflectors (they might be lights), but there is a skull at the top, if that helps any.  The gallows to the left is, I believe, a hoist used to weigh and measure game. There are antlers all over it.  The shot above was taken from directly under the boom.  It's difficult to see the antlers in the photo below.   They may be more obvious in an embiggened image.  Go ahead, click if you dare.
We can also assume from this photo that the place sells 7-Up, and that a pack of Marlboro cigs is $2.95.  The photo below shows the edge of the roof upon which the bleached bones of the community's victims lie.  It does not appear as though the building was constructed with much attention to asthetic beauty or structural integrity. 
P.S.  The pictures don't seem to be able to embiggen.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
