11/01/13 Featured Arkansas Photography–A sign that nature will always win

A Sign that nature always will win in the long run in the Richland Creek Wilderness

Taken with a Canon S95, iso 200.  After a long hike along Richland, I came across this sign near my truck.  I stopped for a minute to take a few photographs of it since it showed in just image what’s going to happen eventually to anything man made, i.e. nature will always win.  Here you have a wilderness boundary marking sign that has been almost eaten by a tree.  This I am sure took many years and was helped along by the Stupid Redneck or many Rednecks that decided it would be a neat idea to shoot a “helpless” sign.  Note the entire left side is gone from what looks like a shotgun blast.  This always amazes me as this sign is near a trail head and you never know who might be coming up the trail.  However even taking the man made destruction, I found that fact the tree was starting to eat the sign and in about another 15 years, more than likely the sign will be gone, the tree should still be there.  Sadly Arkansas did not receive anywhere enough rain to bring up Richland during the this fall so I tried for some other spots.  Richland is definitely a magic spot and one of favorite spots to photograph in the U.S. not to mention Arkansas.
