A New Day

226 miles

Today is the first day of our summer road trip. This year we are traveling to Glenwood Springs in Colorado from Marietta, Georgia. Our first stop is Selma, Alabama, which takes us180 miles out of our way. We stopped here because a customer at an art festival told me about the bridge in Selma after seeing my photograph titled Freedom.

The Selma bridge called the Edmond Pettus Bridge is the site of Bloody Sunday during the Civil Rights Movement. Here are my photographs from this morning. I hope you enjoy following along. We are off to the Voting Rights Museum and then Memphis.
