MMX 149 Battle of Corydon
July 9, 1863- The attack occurred during Morgan’s Raid in the American Civil War as a force of 2,500 cavalry invaded the North in support of the Tullahoma Campaign. It was the only pitched battle of the Civil War that occurred in Indiana, and no battle has occurred within Indiana since.

MMX 146 Bridge too Far
This is the old Shelbyville road bridge. Nature has reclaimed most of the concrete & pavement.
MMX 144 Hogans Fountain
Hogans Fountain in Cherokee Park. I think everyone has taken a photo of this landmark. Mine is no different.
Cause everyone needs a hat right?
This is photo 143/365 in my Project 365 2010. The fire plug already had it’s accoutrement on when I arrived. I guess it wanted to shade it’s eyes from the hot sun.
Clarity
When you go past a managed forest you see a mass of tree trunks. Then at a certain point you look again you realize they are all in prefect rows. Clarity. Clarity of vision. What you’ve been looking at from the wrong angle and not seeing at all. You labor, you sweat to see what you couldn’t see from that other perspective. – The Edge
The quote is from the documentary “It Might Get Loud”, where the guitarist for U2 was describing his creative struggle when he wrote the basis for the song “Sunday Bloody Sunday”. I thought his explanation was one of the best for understanding the creative process. You toil, sweat and labor over the work. One glance from a different angle, suddenly it all makes sense, comes together, often in ways other than you first imagined.
Therapy
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.” ~Einstein
I have heard of Retail Therapy, and all sorts of other society made up therapies (that are not actually therapeutic they just release endorphins & dopamine in the brain so you feel better) so I’m going to try a little Photography therapy. The past few months have been rather difficult. Outside the family realm, my job continues to add stress to my life. Being awake for 24 hours at a time while working is stating to wear me down mentally. I have slipped into a photographic funk, I have not been shooting daily in the past month. I’m going to try to remedy both problems with more photography. Now that the doldrums of winter have passed I will try to hit the road and the trails to bring back my views of the region. Thanks for sticking it out, hope your journey finds you well.

MMX 141 Cloud Factory
I have found the culprit that is causing all the cloudy days this spring! This cloud factory has been pumping the gray gloomy clouds for months. I finally got a shot of it in action. I bet the operators are in cahoots with the rain factory to increase production. I will try to keep abreast of the situation.

MMX 136 Twins (notice the ash tray between them)
MMX 137 Partner (in the wee hours of the morning we are called out to a rural county for an ALS transport. We would breakdown on the highway, with the patient, for two hours. This was a four hour run from hell. Luckily the patient just slept).
MMX 138 (the oh, crap I need a photo for today, photo)
MMX 139 Sunrise over the Airport (KSDF). I have a thing for sunrise & sunsets.
MMX 130 Floyds Fork
MMX 130 Floyds Fork Creek
I finally got the Canon 10D out after almost a week. Floyds Fork Park is located just outside Jeffersontown, KY on KY 155. The water level is still up, which would have made a nice canoe or kayak paddle. Below is a stack of logs that accumulated during one of the floods.

MMX 121 Jet
I have not felt much like photographing anything recently. I try to get at least one iphone photo per day just to stay in the Project 365 game. Sorry if these aren’t all that interesting, I’m going to try to get out more often with the Canon 10D, now that spring has brought new sites to the Commonwealth.
