February Theme Day, ENTRY

"Entry" is the theme for City Daily Photo Blogs February Theme Day,

 and here is a pasture gate where farm trucks pass to check the livestock.

 It really shows up a lot better in the snow!

February Theme Day (Fountains)

The City Daily Photo Blogs are featuring fountains for the February Theme Day, and while I've posted photos of Selma's municipal fountain several times, here it is again! The fountain flows in a pleasant little park between City Hall and the public library. So come on down, sit a spell and listen to the music of the fountain. In a few weeks, I bet some birds will tune right in as well!

February Theme Day: When People Think of My City...

When people think of Selma, Alabama, USA, they think of "Civil War to Civil Rights" history. Our town is also known for its abundance of historic homes and structures.

At left, the Confederate Monument reigns over Old Live Oak Cemetery where numerous Confederate veterans, including a few generals, are buried. Confederate Circle is flanked by cannons and includes a bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest, the general who defended Selma in one of the last battles of the War Between the States. Selma played an important role in the war with its large foundry and navy yard, which supplied munitions and shipbuilding for the Confederacy.

At right, this window in the National Voting Rights Museum recognizes some of the voting rights leaders. Outside the window, you can see the Pettus Bridge. One hundred years after the Battle of Selma, the town became pivotal for its role in the Civil Rights/Voting Rights Movement.
