December Theme Day (Bridges)


Today is the City Daily Photo December Theme Day, and the subject is BRIDGES. Nothing better would do for this theme from Selma, Alabama, USA than a picture of the Edmund Pettus Bridge that crosses the Alabama River. Opened in 1940, this bridge became famous during the Civil Rights Movement. I took this photograph from Songs of Selma Park. A similar photo taken last summer can be found here.
Please visit all the other bridges around the world.

  3. It is a landmark indeed, scene to a great struggle, well fought but still not completely won.

  11. I really like the way you framed this bridge. Without the color of the park and trees the metal of the bridge against the sky could have been a dull pic, but you have made it a work of art!
