These shots are from a road trip yesterday to the community of Jackson, in Clarke County. As you know, I take the roads less traveled, and some of the communities along the route were Brent, Marion, Browns, Alberta, Camden, Sunny South, and Thomasville. I took several pictures while I was driving through downtown Camden… it is a really a beautiful small town tucked away on one of the most rural areas of Alabama; there is not a single U.S. or Interstate Highway in Wilcox County. I drove across the Alabama River on the Alabama 28 bridge at Millers Ferry; that is there the F4 tornado came through on March 1 of this year.
I couldn’t help but laugh at a sign on the front door at a convenience store in Camden… and you can also see the baby strawberry plants at Sunshine Farms in Chilton County, between Clanton and Autaugaville. And, getting up for a 5 a.m. trip is worth it because of the incredible sunrise you sometimes see. And, it was a frosty morning. A great day for a drive…
