I’m back in the place where I was born. I make my pilgrimage to the “Heart of Dixie” this time of year knowing that Mama will be waiting for me with lots of yummy food and happy hugs. And also knowing that Dad will be willing to chauffeur me around for my “drive by shootings” while discussing the latest news regarding Ole Miss football. I wish you a Merry Christmas. May your day be filled with love, peace, respect, kindness and lots of food.

Happy Holidays Seth! I just never think about Alabama having hills (probably because I’ve never been there), so I enjoyed your scenic photos, and I always love feline photographs. But my favorite of this series was the last black and white, with the winding road.
Carol,
Thanks so much. Yes in Northern Alabama we have the foothills of the Smoky mountains.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Wonderful photos but love the old buildings in particular!
Cheers
Heather,
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Beautiful native place!
Dana,

Merry Christmas to you. Wonderful pictures.
Thanks! Merry Christmas 🙂
Looks like a great place to call your home stomping grounds. That’s a pair of Piper Cubs if my eyes don’t decieve me?
I’ll have to take your word on that! Thanks for the visit and Happy Holidays to you.
Merry Christmas, Seth
Part of the magic of the holidays is to go back to where you grew up and find onnce again the beauty and love of family,friends and favorite places. Your photos are showing the nostalgia. I never return home during the holidays but I can truly relate in every way.
Enjoy and happy holidays.
Barb
Barb,
Thanks! I agree. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you.
Is that a wild turkey?
Leslie,
Yes. We saw about 50 of them.
Enjoy your Christmas at home.
David,
Thanks. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas! Love your pictures. It is great to see other places. Thank you for visiting my blogs (www.htheblog.wordpress.com & http://www.islandhomeblog.wordpress.com).
Welcome and thanks for your kind words. 🙂
Merry Christmas. Glad to see you went on a non-traditional turkey shoot. Thanks for the shots of your home country.
Brad, Thanks. You are welcome.

Thanks so much. Merry Christmas. 🙂
Happy Christmas, Seth! 🙂
Merry Christmas! Hope you had a good one.
Happy Holidays; the turkey is great, but not to eat this time around.
Happy Holidays to you as well. L)
I love these pics, the little kitties are adorable, my favorite has to be the old barn. I once spent 6 months in Huntsville, not far from the Redstone Arsenal. A lovely place, thanks for bringing it to mind again.
Yes, I know it. My parents live in about 10 miles from downtown Huntsville. My bro-in-law works at the Arsenal.
Yay for Bama holidays!!! Hope yours was great. 🙂 Your pictures are gorgeous and capture the countryside really well.
Thanks. I always have a good trip to mama’s and daddy’s 🙂
Lovely as always SethSnap 🙂
Thanks so much. 🙂 Oklahoma see any snow from the last storm?
I hope you have a wonderful holiday!! Your pictures are incredible 🙂
Thanks. Hope you had a great Christmas and look forward to reading your blog in 2013.
Merry Christmas! Thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs during the year.
Thanks and Happy New Year.
Thanks again for these lovely photos. I hope the end of Christmas fare is doing you well
Yes very well. Thanks.
I hope you had a wonderful Merry Christmas with your folks. All the best for 2013.
Thank you so much. Same to you. 🙂
Holy cow! What a smorgasbord! That gray kitty is my favorite. And then I like the red sky and them the black & whites. What a lovely eye you have, Seth.
Thanks. 🙂 Glad you like my smorgasbord. 😉 it’s how my brain works.
frame perfect photographs!
Thanks Inigo.
Great photographs! Enjoyed looking at them all!
Thanks so much. Hope your holidays are going well.
I love visiting Alabama through your camera lens. It makes me want to visit the state in person one of these days. Thanks for that, and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. And that you have a happy new year, too!
You should. There are some wonderful places there. I really only know the northern half. Huntsville, Athens, Scottsboro and Florence. Lots of nature there.
GO IRISH. (Nice turkeys).
Colleen. Thanks. I’ll let you duke that out with the Bama fans. I’m not one. There were about 50 wild turkeys we came upon.
How is that possible? Alabama reminds me of my home in Bavaria. This is no joke. Or is it? 🙂
Well, I can see that! Alabama is a very diverse state. Most people do not know what it is like. 🙂

After the fires here in Australia, and Patrick’s night hike in Canada, Seth’s photos of his Christmas Day in Alabama get me thinking of autumn.
A calm, and calming, photo gallery.
Looks a lot like home… But, Ole Miss? C’MON! (kidding…)
Hotty Toddy. 🙂 Thanks.
