Angles, Lines & Colors
Don’t really know why, but every now and then I just look up. Walking past this barn, I liked the blue sky, the lines from the boards & roof and the angles.
Union Station
Opened in 1891,Union Station was operated and built by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company. The station served as a rail depot until 1979, when Amtrak discontinued service to the station. The building is now the main offices for the Transit Authority of the River Cities (TARC), who runs the bus lines around the metro region. Read more about Union Station here
MMX 054 Running Water
I wish I had a polarizing filter on my iPhone. It’s getting a little difficult to find photos for project 365. I need to get more creative, somehow. My wife says I should make art out of the ordinary things around us. We’ll see what I can come up with tomorrow.
MMX 052 Scrappy
You have already met Callie, this is he sister Scrappy. Scrappy likes to get out and run. We believe that she was a stray for a long time before being brought to the Humane Society. She is special in her own little way.
MMX 051
The snow is melting in the Metro area. We have two days of rain forecast. At least Kentucky won their basketball game!
MMX 050 Callie
This is my dog Callie. She provides loads of entertainment. We just learned recently that she is a Dutch Shepherd mix.
MMX 049 Birds & Berries
The parking lot of a local hospital, birds picked berries off the trees during sunset. They were used to humans, which allowed me to get close. Photo taken with iPhone, edited with CameraBag app (Holga filter).
MMX 048 Icicles
The melting snow and below freezing temperatures have created quite a few icicles on our gutters at home. More snow in the forecast this weekend, hope we get a good amount. I still like the snow, even if finding photos for Project 365 is getting harder (since everything is still snow covered).
MMX 047 Garbage
In many ways. Didn’t have much time, eight minutes, and I needed a photo of the day. I do not like the photo, so it is garbage. I’ll do better tomorrow!
MMX 045 Swing Time
The rope swing is located by Big Rock in Cherokee Park. The water level was down from the normal spring levels, after all it is still winter. The water looked cold, and a few ducks swam nearby.

Walking
Fort Knox Trail, Hardin County, KY
Trail beside stream,
Fragrant pine.
Rocky red earth,
Steep mountain.
Walking may be a good metaphor for spiritual life, but there are
times when simple hiking is literally the best activity. When one walks
in the woods or climbs mountains, there is a wonderful unity of body,
mind, and spirit. Hiking strengthens the legs, increases stamina,
invigorates the blood, and soothes the mind. Away from the madness of
society, one is freed to observe nature’s lessons.
Erosion. Gnarled roots. The carcass of a dead deer. A flight of
swallows. The high spirals of hawks. Bladed reflections of rushing
water. Just budding bare branches. Gray rock, cracked, shattered, and
worn. A fallen tree. A lone cloud. The laughter of plum branches. Even a
little circle of rocks beside the trail — who put them there, or did
any hand arrange them, and no matter which, what are the secrets of that
circle?
There are a thousand meanings in every view, if only we open
ourselves to see the scripture of the landscape.

MMX 041 Swoop
The First Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Louisville is located off Manslick Rd & Bluegrass Ave. According to their website they were first organized in 1942. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church is celebrating it’s 200th anniversary this year.
I just couldn’t pass up the great roof line on this building.
MMX 040 Snowpocalypse 2010
We finally recieved our first decent snowfall of the season, around 5 inches. I am at work, of course, so all I can do is shoot with the iPhone. Enjoy the snow, wish I could be out sledding!
