Alabama is a state of contrasts, complete with stately antebellum
homes and towering office buildings. A thriving industrial
economy peacefully coexists with a clean environment and short
commutes between home and office. Alabama has the resources
and activities to appeal to any lifestyle. Alabama has a temperate
climate. The Gulf of Mexico to the south helps to moderate
the temperatures and is a source of ample rainfall. Summer
average temperatures are quite uniform throughout the state,

northern part of the state are about 10°F (41°C) cooler
than the 51°F (10°C) average for south Alabama. In
the north region it's best described as this beautiful, mountainous
land features deep canyons, broad rivers, and clear lakes
set in lush valleys. Its wide array of flora is ever-changing
with the seasons, adding a special beauty to the area's chiseled
landscapes, scenic waterfalls, and natural rock bridges. As

in towns that retain a touch of the past. This is a land of
rivers, of rolling prairie lands and magnificent forests.

of higher learning, including the University of Alabama, Auburn
University and a host of smaller schools. The southeast region
of Alabama is the Wiregrass area that has a thriving agricultural

fields. The area is a fisherman's paradise, featuring Lake
Eufaula, the Big Bass Capital of the World. And finally the

lush gardens and perhaps the world's purest, whitest beaches.
