It's really cool to see a race on streets I know so well. We usually watch the Tour de France and a couple of other races on TV. Did any of you see the opening stages in Corsica this year???? Wow. Fabulously beautiful place.

Here are some still of some of the places the riders are going past in downtown Montgomery:
Goat Hill:
Inside of the capitol dome:
Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Rev. Martin Luther King:
State of Ala Supreme Court building. One of my portraits is in the permanent collection there.
2nd downtown fountain, in front of the only real skyscraper, can be seen in in part of the footage:
and the fountain they did not go past, but would make a great backdrop, with the capitol building in the background:
