The Mississippi Welcome Center and Rest Area

Did you have a road trip lately? If you travel towards Louisiana on the I-10 you will see the Mississippi Welcome Center on the right side after you cross the state line.You should stop by and see the design of their well decorated building. Visitors are given free coffee and sodas.These photos were taken at the courtyard of Mississippi Welcome Center.The artists used the dead tree probably Oak as canvas. They re-used it and beautify by carving birds artwork. These birds are common in Mississippi such as cranes, seagulls and pelicans.It's really beautiful and you can see these art pieces when you travel along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi towards Louisiana.I have been traveling from Florida to Mississippi since 2008 but I never noticed these trees until February. I really think this art work is newly put up.The welcome center always have an amazing landscape. That is why, you should check it out.
