Today, the first day of January, 2014 the CDP bloggers around the world have chosen the photograph that they feel is the best of 2013. My choice was easy this year. Today I repost Addie Mae's Shoes , part of the beautiful sculpture The Four Spirits by Birmingham native Elizabeth Macqueen. The work was unveiled in September during commemorative events marking the 50 year anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing that killed for dear little girls. Macqueen's beautiful sculpture stands at the corner of Kelly Ingram Park, across the street from the church.

A poignant mixture of history and art. Very nice!
C and I are glad you brought us by there. The flowers bring the bronze to life.
Such a powerful post! And the shoes with flowers are such a nice touch!
Happy New Year. Here's to another great year of photoblogging.

The flowers in the shoes are both startling and very moving when we read your story. I had missed your original post, thanks for sharing it with us again. It is very poignant.
I wish you and your loved ones a very happy year 2014, with lots of trips to Paris of course :)
Fresh smelling shoes.
Greetings,
