Fall colors arrive on the farm! 2026-11-05 - Russell Co., KY - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "Finally after those countless days of total blue skies, some overcast; perfect photography conditions. I had been in the Wolf Creek Dam area a few days earlier and spotted a handful of backroads, while passing through, that I wanted to come back and explore. Today would be that day. This scene was the first and best place I discovered on this day. It was located on Manntown Road, below the Dam." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
