Week 1 (of 52) - I Live Here



photograph by Char @ Ramblins
montgomery is the capital of alabama and it's state capital building is a beautiful example of the architecture of the times. it is still beautiful today as it sits at the top of the hill. though the downtown area has decayed over the past few decades, there has been a revitalization in the area and many buildings are being restored to their former glory.

  16. I like the monotone hues in this picture. I think the rainy day was on your side with this subject matter. It lends a bit of extra formality to the photo.

  21. Thanks, Char for allowing me to join this inspiring group! I love all the writing and photos, but even more the blog fellowship! I most like the off-centeredness (a word?) of your photo - and your processing of it!
