The Cahaba River and its tributary Buck Creek run through Helena Alabama. Buck Creek is dammed upstream of Alabama Highway 261 in the Old Town area to form Lake Davidson which was used for recreation and water wheel power at the turn of the 20th century. In 1856, this dam was built at the same time as a rolling mill. This rolling mill would produce arms for the Confederacy and would later be destroyed by Union raiders at the end of the Civil War. This is my first attempt at playing with my shutter speed and using a cooling filter. I hope you all enjoy and as always, comments are always welcome.
