July Theme Day "Something Red"

Today is Theme Day, and for July 1 we post
"Something Red."

The Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail begins at the base of the Edmund Pettus Bridge along U.S. Highway 80 West. The 50-mile trail leads past several civil rights historic sites and the Voting Rights Interpretive Center sponsored by the National Park Service in Lowndes County. Soon, an interpretive center will open in Selma near the bridge as well as one in Montgomery.

Please visit these other City Daily Photo Blogs participating in Theme Day.

  10. Thank you for stopping by!
    Abraham, that's a good observation. The true color of the sign is a rusty red in the midday sun. I brightened it a bit and added some saturation.

  16. this is definitely one red sign I would not miss if it was 100 miles away =) - what a great red it is.

  17. Thank you all for your comments and visiting my blog. Please note that the directions for theme day said to be creative. While the sign is rusty red, it is NOT actually this red. I should have noted that. For really, really, red I could have posted the Little Red Caboose at the Old Depot Museum, the Farmer's Co-op building, Selma's first fire engines or any other numerous things. I will get to them eventually! Glad you stopped by!
