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.

Merry and Bright

Here's a Behind-the-Lights view of the MERRY CHRISTMAS sign

 on the banks of the Alabama River. The sign can be seen

 from the Pettus Bridge as vehicles travel into town

 or it can be viewed from the river.

November Sunset

Leaves slowly change their hue along the Alabama River;

 meanwhile, Selma finally got a couple of clear skies and spectacular sunsets

 this week! This view looks east from the Pettus Bridge toward

 the railroad trestle in downtown Selma.

Skywatch Friday, Alabama River Sunset

Guest photographer Jed Kirk captured this beautiful sunset above the Alabama River

 on one of his recent boating excursions. With summer almost upon us,

 the river traffic will increase significantly!

Sunset on the Alabama River (Skywatch)

It's Skywatch time again, and I am pleased to bring you this spectacular sunset over the Alabama River!

Christine Weerts took this photograph last year from the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and it's proof that we DO have gorgeous skies over Selma. I love how the water reflects the reds, oranges and golds.
