Alabama Photos of the Day: Carol Highsmith's Motel
For a number of years Carol Highsmith has photographed the American scene--people, places, buildings, urban, and rural. She has worked in all 50 states and has been donating her life's work, more than 100,000 images, to the Library of Congress. All of them are in the public domain free of copyright restrictions.
In 2010 she spent time in Alabama; I have used some of those photographs on my daily bursts on Twitter account @ajwright31. You can find more than 4100 of her photos shot in the state here.
Below are four of her photographs of the Alabama Motel taken in a rural part of the state on May 9, 2010. No other identification is given. Anyone recognize this place?
That's from the Alabama Motel that's near the forestdale area, it was destroyed around april 27th 2011 by a tornado. and demolished sometime last year.
