Skywatch Friday (Skies of Blue)


"I see skies of blue..... clouds of white

Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights

And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world."


This verse in Louis Armstrong's heartwarming song, "What a Wonderful World" certainly describes June in Selma. Most days, the skies are blue, the clouds are white, and the temperature is in the comfortable 80s. Add green trees and these magnificent white crape myrtle against white buildings and black ironwork, and we have summer in the Deep South!

The building above is the Selma-Dallas County Public Library, one of the most popular places in town during the summer.

E911 Tower

The E911 tower rises to meet the first promise of rain in weeks.

Selma finally received a shower Friday afternoon, and we enjoyed an even better one on Saturday.

The tower, which serves emergency responders in Selma and Dallas County, is located next to the courthouse annex.

This photo was taken from the courthouse parking lot. A decorative lantern and white crape myrtle provide the foreground.
