…and a golden Elvis

I pulled into a parking space in downtown Perry, Oklahoma on Tuesday afternoon after photographing some minor storm damage following severe thunderstorms the night before. In a storefront window a few doors down from the Kumback Cafe, was a collection of Elvis Presley figurines, including a bright gold one that caught my eye. I’d been to Perry and the Kumback Cafe before to make this slideshow, but somehow I missed the golden Elvis.

Here’s a photo gallery with images from storm damage in Perry and around the Oklahoma City metro area. Remember that you can click on any image featured on Alternate Crop to get a closer look.
