The Horsehead Fountain

One of Selma's most unusual sites in the horsehead fountain

 on Water Avenue. Located at the entrance of Lafayette Park 

and corner of the St. James Hotel, it makes a great photo op!

One of the horses in the fountain outside the St. James Hotel looks a bit shocked

 as his eye  peers between slabs of ice! This week, Selma had its coldest weather

 in maybe 20 years with temperatures remaining below freezing

 (all the way to a low of 8 degrees)

 from Sunday night until Wednesday morning.

The Four Horses

The four horses of the fountain by the St. James Hotel

 seem to be riding into and away from the sunset.

Fountains, The Horseheads at the St. James

The heat index in Selma is forecast at 110 F today, so what better way to attempt a cooldown than to post a black and white photo of the horsehead fountain on Water Avenue!

The Horsehead Fountain

The horsehead fountain outside the St. James Hotel lends charm to its entrance and makes a great focal point for photographs, especially with colorful flowers in the background. The riverfront hotel was renovated this past year, and back in the 1800s, it thrived with river and rail traffic.
