Residential beauty

During the course of my visit back home and this wander across the back country of Kentucky, I was reminded just how much I missed seeing the stately old Victorian homes and public buildings. These are from Georgetown and Lexington, Ky.

During my trip back home to the Louisville area, I had the opportunity to climb into the car and wander the open roads between Louisville and Lexington. Lexington was the eventual goal, but with an entire day to myself, time slowed down to comfortable slices based on whim not a deadline. In part, it was pleasant exercise in photographing the beauty of the region I grew up in, and documenting any abandoned sites I happened to see along the way. In this same manner is how I’ve chosen to present those images, one post will be the lost and abandoned; while the next will be the normal and natural. The abandoned locations will appear in the photo blog abandonedplaces

Bridges old and older

Frankfort sights and textures


Tin ceiling – this was the ceiling of an upscale but very old restaurant in Frankfort. Elegant, yet nostalgic in it’s character
