348. A Visit to Pearl Harbor

I went home to visit family and brought along a friend. My friend insisted on visit Pearl Harbor because of it's history. She was proud to be an American and wanted to honor the veterans that had fought in WWII for our freedom, so we went there on our last day on the island.

347. Tuscaloosa, Alabama, that I knew

          In 2011, I went back to Tuscaloosa for a friend's wedding. The trip brought back good old memories of the school I have attended, the University of Alabama, and it's surrounding environment.
          The Old State's Capital, where I had tagged along with my friends for their photography class assignments. It was my first introduction to SLR camera and I found it was complicated with all the knots and dials, this mentality had all gone now when I get my first DSLR on Christmas of '09 and I am glad.
          The university campus took up many blocks that adjacent to highway 82 and the Black Warrior River, and it was a huge place. It had a lot of open spaces between schools. On a nice day, students would take advantage of the school main lawn to study, have a picnic, play tagged football or stroll along the river bank. The school also used these open spaces to display various art pieces.
          Beside hanging around on campus, I also drove under those old railroad tracks because it was unique to me. It gave me a feeling of an old town with many hidden stories that was waiting for me to discover. These sentimental connections I had with Tuscaloosa is what I wanted to share with others, specially those that have asked me the question "What was there to like about Alabama?".
