Three

I think this is one of my favorite installations in the Sculpture Garden at the Birmingham Museum of Art.

12 of Icelandic artist Steinunn Thórarirnsdóttir's live size iron figures stand throughout the space.

Birmingham Rouge - The Glow

The eerie glow of WBRC's enormous neon sign on a foggy night on Red Mountain was a parking lot catch!

Let The Creative Juices Flow!

My multi talented friend, artist Kevin Irwin, has the most fabulous studio. Everywhere you turn you find more of her delightful creations.  Be it glass, pottery, jewelry or paintings, she does it all and WELL!

Foggy Night on Red Mountain

The Waiter

This is one of my favorite waiters at Chez Fonfon in Five Points South. He's worked there for a long time,  and is always so kind to let me snap his photo!

Strong Hands

Do you know these hands?  Any guesses?

Outdoor Seating

Our temps have been in single digits here this week,  so I'm pretty sure V. Richard's has not had many patrons choosing to sit outside on these lovely (but cold) chairs!

How do you like to go up in a swing,

Up in the air so blue?

Oh I do think it the pleasantest thing

Ever a child can do!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's not snowing this much in Birmingham today, but it's one of the coldest winter days we've seen in a few years!  I found this photo from one of our freaky one day snowfalls a few years ago and decided to share.

Sunday Church Series - Columns

The beautiful Highlands United Methodist Church in Five Points South. This church was probably the first church I posted way back in 2008.

Verdigris

These beautiful doors grace this mausoleum in Birmingham's oldest cemetery, historic Oak Hill.

Vintage at Barber's

1952 Lotus Mk IV

The Barber Motorsports Museum is one of Birmingham's star attractions. It displays over 1200 vintage motorcycles and race cars!  It defies description. If you are visiting Birmingham it is a MUST SEE!

City Daily Photo Theme Day - Best of 2013

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.
