Vertically aligning an image to the bottom of a div tag

<div class = "column2_SS">
 <img class = "weather_widget" src = "images/weather.png" alt = "Smiley face">
</div>

CSS code: 

.column2_SS{
background-color: #f2f7fc;
float: right;
height: 171px;
width: 300px;
background-color: black;  /*#444444*/
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: 100px;
border-radius: 7px;
vertical-align: bottom;}

.weather_widget{
vertical-align: bottom;}

vertical-align: bottom; doesn't work. I need to align the weather widget image to the bottom. Any solution? Find the attached image. enter image description here

Edit: I have set the background color of column2_SS to black. If the image is bottom aligned the background color should not be black. See the attached image. There is a black row under the image which means that image is not bottom aligned. enter image description here

Well, there is one of the classic fixes for this on the web, creating table-look markup...

<div class="table">
    <div class="table-cell">
        <img src="path/to/your/img.jpg">
    </div>
</div>

.table {
    display: table;
}

.table-cell {
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: bottom;
}

Also, absolute positioning will work fine, but I always use it as a last option, because of "jumping" behavior on some devices.

You can position an element in relation to its parent using position: absolute and playing with the top/bottom/left/right values. vertical-align works for inline elements or table cells mostly (read more on MDN).

.column2_SS {
  background-color: #f2f7fc;
  float: right;
  height: 271px;
  width: 300px;
  background-color: black;
  margin-top: 20px;
  margin-right: 100px;
  border-radius: 7px;
  position: relative;
}

.weather_widget {
  position: absolute;
  bottom:0;
}
<div class="column2_SS">
  <img class="weather_widget" src="https://i.sstatic.net/iU1rX.png" alt="Smiley face">
</div>
