Life on the Paint Rock
Welcome to a pictorial tour of
what used to be my back yard. My name is Bill
Anderson, and until recently I made my home in the Paint Rock River Valley near New Hope, Alabama.
I wouldn't claim that life
was perfect here, but I will say that it leaned a
little in that direction. My house sat on about three acres of land, with
180' of riverfront access.
It was almost like
living in a state park; the road was a cul-de-sac and other than my neighbors, about the
only traffic I saw was people driving slowly and enjoying the scenery. I wish you
could visit the valley, but if you can't drive by
yourself, maybe you'll enjoy these pictures. Just click on any of them to see
related, larger photos I took during the 19 years I lived there.
I've grouped the pictures by subject: the house, swimmin',
boatin' & fishin', sunnin' on the deck, partyin', and floodin'.
(Yes, almost every spring, the Paint Rock would remind us who was boss around
there, and
we got treated to a much better view of the water than we'd
have preferred.) So there you are -- if you can't go to North Alabama in person, at least you can get a feel for the beauty of the place
by visiting this website. Enjoy!
