Jackson Fog: An iPhone photo essay

Another day, another foggy morning in Jackson, Mississippi. I said that the fog made downtown look like something from Stephen King’s imagination.  So here are a few photos from my trusty iPhone 4S. Enjoy your tour of Jackson in the fog. Oh, you want to see them bigger? Click on the smaller photos to see them larger.

Jackson's City Hall. It survived the Civil War and was used as a hospital.

Looking toward the State Capitol on Congress

The Mississippi State Capitol. Built in 1903 for $1,095,681 from back railroad taxes.

Designed by famed architect Theodore Link, the Beaux-Arts Style building sits on old site of State Penitentiary.

The fog has nearly shrouded the giant gold eagle on the top of the dome.

The corner of Pearl and Congress Streets.
