The Licking River is one of those rivers that flow from south to north. Seen here flowing between Newport and Covington, Ky. It rained and was windy much of the day before I took this shot so the river was high and carrying a lot of debris. It flows into the Ohio River across from Cincinnati about ten blocks from where I took this shot. I believe the railroad bridge shown is no longer in service.
I spent some time in Kentucky for the Thanksgiving Holiday and while I didn't get out much I was able to spend a day trackside. On the day after Thanksgiving CSX empty coal train E013 has Seaboard Air Line Heritage Unit 1900 second out at Guthrie, KY 11.29.24
The Niagara of the South! aka Cumberland Falls! Known for its perpetual rainbow. Which was not visible the day I was there. Even though it was sunny...
This is the Mud Lick Volunteer Fire Department building in the unincorporated community of Mud Lick, Kentucky. Its six apparatus bay doors made the building the largest in the community bar none. I did not see many houses around here. However, Mud Lick once had its own U.S. Post Office. This community was featured in an episode of the science-fiction television series X-Files for having a monster in its backwoods. The place looked pretty peaceful to me.
I later drove down Mud Lick Flippin Road, which connects Mud Lick to Flippin, Kentucky.
Natural Bridge
Natural Bridge State Park
Kentucky
On this beautiful winter morning following an overnight snowstorm we spent quite a bit of time shooting from Lookout Point at Kentucky's Natural Bridge State Park we finally turned our attention at the reason we had made the hike, to photograph Natural Bridge. We made the ridge top hike and crossed over the bridge taking in the soaring view then headed down below. The natural arch is impressive, at 78 ft across and 65 feet high. Although it is very cool, the area beneath the bridge is very "state park", as there is a wood fence that surrounds the base only that only allows a visitor just pass under and around it. Nonetheless we found a cool perspective to shoot the bridge from below and I don't think we could have picked a better time to pay this place a visit although I'm itching to shoot the bridge in October.
It was great to be back at Churchill Downs. My reflexes were a little slow after such a long period of inactivity, but I managed a few keepers.
Sadly, I only acquired this one photo for my I Love Inappropriate T-shirts album. Derby usually provides a rich harvest. Hopefully we'll get back in the swing of things by next year.
I met up with a few local photographers the past weekend and headed out to the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge, near Big Sandy Tennessee. Lot's of fun!

I had driven past this lovely old barn many times before stopping to make a picture of it.
While most barns have very few windows in the hay loft, this barn has eight multi-pane sash windows across the front, giving it an almost lived-in look. But a closer look reveals some of last season's hay still in the hay mow.
This barn has three large metal cupolas mounted on top to aid ventilation. Each cupola is topped with a weather vane decorated with the figure of a cow.
This structure is quite symmetrical with its white-painted areas on either corner. The one on the left must have been the "milk house" where the milk was collected and stored for shipment.
Kentucky Falls.
El sendero es de mas 7 kilómetros con una subida empinada en el regreso bastante pesada.
A lo largo de del camino hay mucho arboles derribados, deslizamientos de tierra por falta de mantenimiento, se pueden aprecian muchas flores silvestres y también una enorme cantidad de ardillas .
Larceny Barrel Proof offers a new opportunity to experience our acclaimed wheated Bourbon mashbill in its purest form: non-chill filtered and bottled at full barrel proof.

Much like Larceny Small Batch and Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond, Larceny Barrel Proof is a welcome reminder of just how good wheated Bourbons can be.

In 2016, I found myself with a morning to kill in Louisville, so of course it was time to go track down some choo-choos.
The PAL #1998 is an ex-SP GP40-2 that's now painted for the University of Kentucky. Going wide here, I got a good view of BJK Industries on the yard's northwest side. It's also worth noting that this berm I was standing on afforded quite the nice bit of elevation for shots into the yard.
Ky. has some neat old barns-this is one of my favorites-- I got out yesterday and got another shot of it----- I like to photograph it at different times of year.----HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD EVERYONE--THANKS FOR STOPPING BY MY STREAM!
State Gamelands 189, Beaver County. I was happy to find at least two territorial males at this gamelands this year, where the species has been less than annual for some time. Hopefully the presence of two (or more) this year will prove to be a good sign for the future.
