Looking east in late afternoon, the Edmund Pettus Bridge turns orange

    The reflections of the bridge draw me down, down, deep into the water.

    Oh, Janet, this is really, really beautiful. I hope that someone in Selma will use this photo for a calendar or promotion of Selma or something. It needs to be used! Love the colors and the framing and everything about it.
