During the Civil War, Tuscaloosa came to be known as "The Druid City." The streets downtown were lined with oak trees. Druids were ancient Celtic people who worshipped trees, particularly oaks. Many places and groups in Tuscaloosa use "Druid City" or "Oak" in their names. (just google "the Druid City" and you'll see what I mean!)
This little lonely lane just outside of town is lined with water oaks. I think they're beautiful casting long afternoon shadows.
