BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   "HOPE"
"HOPE"

-----------
The Hope, Arkansas Railroad Depot was converted in 1999 into the Town's Visitor Center, chock full of items related to former President Bill Clinton, who hails from Hope. There is also a corner devoted to photos of former Governor Mike Huckabee, who was born here too.

I mean no disrespect, but wanted to share this! A life-sized cardboard photo of Hillary Clinton greets patrons of the museum who visit the Ladies" Room.

The "Clinton" museum in Hope overflows with Clinton family photographs. The volunteer Guide was eager to show me the displays in the Ladies' Restroom.

  I would have loved to see this beauty when the trains were running. I love trains, what a pity they slipped away.

  Interesting tour Michelle, you were busy for a week weren't you. Interesting how a little unknown town becomes a crossroad of interest after someone who lived there became famous.

  You can't imagine all the one-liners that come to mind seeing these images (especially in the ladies room), Michelle! That said, it's sure a cool place and I love the exterior photo -- well composed and detailed!

  Nice capture, details and effects! Love that sky too! I see what you mean about Hillary watching you. I see that they did have tp and not corn cobs.

  A fine image and interesting details, Michelle. I get the impression that hope is mainly a clean washroom. That was certainly the case in many of the places I traveled to. :)

  The warmth of the brick backed by a threatening sort of sky makes an immediate impression and a strong image.
