The Federal Arch

Looking from the steps of the federal courthouse in Selma,

 you can see the side entrance of the Dallas County Courthouse.

 This arch commemorates our town's two U.S. senators, John Tyler Morgan

 and Edmund Winston Pettus. I wonder if we could add Jeff Sessions.

 He was born in Selma!

In a way, this arch kind of symbolizes today's "over-arching" federal bureaucracy,

 and if you'd like to read about how things were meant to be, head on over

 to The Federalist Papers!

Shadow Shot Sunday, Shadow Play at the County Courthouse

Ever noticed the columns on the Dallas County Courthouse? They are part of the preserved section of the earlier structure. They're especially noticeable on sunny mornings when shadows like to play there.
