Somewhere between Huntsville and Scottsboro, Alabama I saw this old barn off Highway 72. The weathered wood gives it character that I like.

While walking on Jacksonville Beach I saw this boat waiting to carry someone riding on the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. It looked inviting but the weather was too cool for me.

If you are in the Jacksonville area, a historic place to visit is the American Red Cross Volunteer Life Saving Corps Station. Volunteers have patrolled the beach there since 1912, and have been a part of the American Red Cross since 1914. In 2014 they had been with the American Red Cross for 100 years. The current station was built in 1947 and just has an old historic feel about.
You can read their history on their website.

While my wife and I were driving through the Painted Desert, we saw what appears to me to be an old 1932 Ford Fordor sedan along the former route of Route 66. The golden rays of the setting sun gave the entire a golden hue that I liked.
I would recommend driving through the Petrified Forest National Park and the Painted Desert if you are traveling I-40 through Arizona.

The Painted Desert in Arizona was one of the places my wife and I visited during our drive across the United States. The rich shades of red are beautiful to me.

When I saw this plant I was reminded of the saying, “Between a rock and a hard place.” What does it make you think of?

The Kymulga Covered Bridge is a pedestrian bridge spanning the Talladega Creek. The bridge was built in 1861. It is made of wood and corrugated sheet metal, and is 105 feet long.
Next door to the Kymulga Bridge is the Kymulga Mill which was built in 1861, three years after the bridge. It is now a working electric powered grist mill with an old country store.
