Something Blue - City of Selma Seal


November Theme Day is "Something Blue," and Selma's city seal has blue sky and blue water in its background. The water represents the Alabama River, and the antebellum Sturdivant Hall represents the Civil War era. The Pettus Bridge is noted for the Civil Rights era. The butterfly is included since Selma is the Butterfly Capital of Alabama. This seal is rather weathered as it stands at the Alabama River entrance
into town.

Blue is photographed by the following City Daily Photo Blogs. Please visit their sites.

This is a really nice commemoration for your city. I think our two cities probably have a lot of history in common with the civil rights movement and all. I'll be sure to check back here more often!
