PHOTO OF THE YEAR (As the Sun Goes Down)

And the 2015 Selma, Ala., Photo Blog's PHOTO OF THE YEAR goes to

"As the Sun Goes Down."

While there were many 50th year anniversaries in 2015 with photos

of historic significance, choosing just one was impossible,

and this picture shows how beautiful our bridge and river

are any time of the year.

It was posted November 17 and taken

during the American Legion commander's visit to town.

Every New Year's Day, City Daily Photo Blogs

sponsors the Photo of the Year for its Theme Day photographs.

Linking to City Daily Photo THEME DAY.

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
