The Great Eclipse Mon 21 Aug 2017: Block parties Downtown 2017-08-22 - Fountain Plaza, 1st Quadrant, Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. As much as anything, observance of the Great Eclipse in Downtown Columbia, occasioned what's best about the business/with-some-residential areas - an excuse to pause a few minutes from work and be with neighbors and friends. Left Rhonda Compton Cox from the Bank of Columbia, was busy taking photos for the Bank, and acquaintances and visitors who handed her a cell phone to record the moment. Vickie Thompson, was in the plaza spreading the word of the Relay for Life, and getting occasional views of the eclipse with borrowed eyewear - everyone was sharing - and hosting visitors. J.D.Zornes of Durham & Zornes, and Dan Antle of Reed Brothers, Insurance, were acting as docents for the town - something we all need to learn to be - for visitors who had come to Columbia to be just a bit closer the the Path of Totality. Groups were congregated in front of the Adair Annex, by Murrell Burton's Real Estate Office, in front of Town Barbershop, and elsewhere. The driver of the Performance Food Service truck - we didn't get his name, was in a great mood, but lamented, "The biggest event in my lifetime . . . and I have to work." Shortly after this scene, the Columbia observers were saying, "Got to get back to work . . . " and the great lives they share every day fell back into normal routines, but with unforgettable memories. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: The beauty of graying wood 2017-08-22 - Oak Grove Road, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Wonderful scenes like this one dot the landscape of Adair County and South Central Kentucky, but every year, a few more are gone - some by residential development, some by industrial farming, some of natural causes. The dearly departed are all dearly missed. They are agri-tourism treasures, as are many family farms in the area. There are other modern farm structures which are equally compelling, but none more pleasing than those with natural aging, the silvery gray of weathered wood. Maybe not all agree. But those of us who first adapted a camera as tool remember that, in black and white, no photography matched scenes like this one. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
