Albany County Rail Trail

|

This orthophoto shows the Albany County Rail Trail and the Normans Kill Gorge. Notable in this photo is how the LiDAR shoots through the bridges, making the bridges shown on the orthophoto overlaid on the hillshade appear to drop into each gorge. Kind of a neat effect, as is the many deep ravines surrounding the rail trail.

SuperDuty Trucks… They’re so expensive and use so much gas 💸➕⛽ 🟰🛻

That’s what gives me so much pause. Now I know I have time to make up my mind, take the off-ramp, as I am not buying until the end of March at the earliest.

I have made up rationalizations in my brain, reasons I’m willing to accept such things. After all, my pickup is my toy, it takes me on great adventures. I make good money in my career. I don’t drive to work and rarely around town.

But still…

Edmund Pettus Bridge

|

The Edmund Pettus Bridge carries U.S. Route 80 Business (US 80 Bus.) across the Alabama River in Selma, Alabama. Built in 1940, it is named after Edmund Winston Pettus, a former Confederate brigadier general, U.S. senator, and leader of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan. The bridge is a steel through arch bridge with a central span of 250 feet (76 m). Nine large concrete arches support the bridge and roadway on the east side.

The Edmund Pettus Bridge was the site of the conflict of Bloody Sunday on March 7, 1965, when police attacked Civil Rights Movement demonstrators with horses, billy clubs, and tear gas as they were attempting to march to the state capital, Montgomery. The marchers crossed the bridge again on March 21 and walked to the Capitol building.

The bridge was declared a National Historic Landmark on February 27, 2013.
