Montgomery AL - City Sights







NOTE:  I've been busy this past week with other projects but wanted to post SOMETHING else to end the week, so I'm adding some photos I took last summer during a downtown Montgomery photowalk.   I love the development taking place on the riverfront and am so glad to see how much and how often people are enjoying this "new" area!

Lowndesboro AL - CME Church


"The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians,
but a school for the education of imperfect ones."
(Henry Ward Beecher)





NOTE:  Built in the early 1830's, the Methodist-Protestant Church (as it was originally named) is a typical end-gabled structure with a portico across the entire front, supported by four wooden columns. Inside, narrow stairs on either side at the rear of the sanctuary lead to the balcony.  The small octagonal steeple topped with a copperplated dome once adorned the first Alabama State Capitol at Cahaba.
