The View from Diego's

Customers at Diego's Restaurant get to enjoy a picturesque view of the Pettus Bridge and Alabama River.

The Mexican eatery is popular for lunch and weekend crowds even though it's a little hard to find. Just turn right at the end of Water Avenue in front of the Old Depot Museum, then continue around the curve, and the restaurant will be a little ways down that road on the right. Look for the sign to follow the road leading to the river.

Clear and Cold Above the River

It's Skywatch Friday again, and the skies were clear with cold temperatures the day I took this photo of the railroad bridge across the Alabama River.

The bridge is located just upriver from the Edmund Pettus Bridge, which carries vehicles across from downtown. I got this shot from the walkway at Diego's Mexican Restaurant...more about the restaurant later.
