ferris wheel

Last fall, Michelle Worosz spent a week in Mobile and Baldwin counties, taking dozens of photos. She wound up with an interesting collection of shots, ranging from satsuma-laden trees at the Gulf Coast Research and Extension Center in Fairhope to new condo construction on Gulf Shores' beaches, from Bayou la Batre's working waterfront to sea oats and sand dunes, and from bird banding at Fort Morgan to Mobile's causeway. It was at The Wharf—a new mixed-use development situated on the south side of the Intracoastal Waterway on the Foley Beach Expressway—that Worosz captured this fantastic photo. The pictures are for students in the sociology of natural resources and the environment class she's teaching this semeter to use for posters they will present in May. The posters will recap students' semester-long projects focusing on specific environmental issues in Mobile or Baldwin County.

Picture This! is the College of Ag's online feature that showcases photography by members of the Ag family. Thanks to all faculty, staff and students who've already sent in photos! KEEP THOSE PICTURES COMING! The photos don't have to be college- or Auburn- or agriculture-related, either; just great shots you'd like to share with the rest of us.

To submit a photo for Picture This!, e-mail it to AgComm@auburn.edu. Include your name, the date and location of the photo, person(s) in the photo and any other info you'd like folks to know about the photo. Look for a new Picture This! photo every other Wednesday.
