Now the Day is Over

Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.

We've had some really remarkable sunsets lately!

(The verse is from the prayer hymn, Now the Day is Over, the words of which 

are comforting any time but especially during the week that we remember

 the evil events of Sept. 11, 2001.)

(Skywatch Friday) Going Down

Going down...

The sun goes down in Dallas County and leaves a shimmering pastel sky.

Skywatch Friday, Silvery Sunset

Off-and-on showers from a tropical system last week left a silvery setting sun.

The Sun Sets on 2009 (Skywatch)

It's Skywatch time again as the sun sets on 2009. I took this photo a few days ago at Marion Junction, and it's one of the most brilliant sunsets of the year! 
Also, notice the cell tower at the bottom right.

Hope you all have a glorious new year!

October Sunset

It's Skywatch Friday again, and I caught this October sunset out of the window of our truck. We'd had rain earlier, so the sun, even setting, was welcome!

Rural Sunset

A red-clay sky fades behind the tree line, and it looks as if the autumn hay crop is almost in.

"Through My Eyes" Contest: Pettus Bridge Wins Again

This magnificent picture of the Pettus Bridge and Water Avenue buildings along the river at sunset won first place in the recent Arts Revive photography contest.
Kathy Price won $100 and a blue ribbon for her composition with the "Through My Eyes...Selma's Historic Architecture" theme. Photos had to include a view of all or some part of one of Selma's historic buildings. The photographs were displayed at Riverfront Market Day last weekend.

Last year's winner can be viewed HERE.
The 2007 theme was the river, and the blue ribbon picture featured a portion of the Pettus Bridge. Another bridge photo won third place this year while the St. Paul's Episcopal Church tower won second.

To see more winning photos, go to this article on The Selma Times-Journal website.
Note the gargoyle in the other blue-ribbon photo. It won the junior division and was entered by my young neighbor, Elizabeth Wilson.

Congratulations to all!
