The way the sunset shimmers like gasoline on the Black Warrior.
Patrick took this photo on our Bama Belle sunset cruise last month. So much of Alabama's history runs along the Black Warrior River- from the cotton plantations to the rise of local industries to the early Indian settlements.
The Black Warrior inspires the best in us. In fact, the university's poetry magazine even proudly bears the title, Black Warrior Review. On early mornings, I love watching the rowing crews cross the water, oars in perfect sync, the resemblance to the waltz of the water striders unmistakable.
