With strong visuals, distances seem shorter 2012-03-22 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester, KY State Division of Forestry. I understand in the case of this photo, taken with magnification and the Sparksville Water Tower giving a magnificent point of reference, that, visually, Sparksville and Columbia seem to be closer still. The photo was taken from Jamestown Road, over Bruce Held's free-style barn on what was known as the Frank Dohoney place, out to Weed-Sparksville Road and the new 750,000 gallon Columbia/Adair County Water Tower, and, to its right, the old Sparksville water standpipe; the latter two visuals on Weed-Sparksville Road. -Billy Joe Fudge Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Windshield Photography: A matter of perspective 2012-03-22 - Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Sometimes the world gets topsy-turvy,, sometimes life gets askew, sometimes accidental windshield pictures bring out strong visuals of things common, but often overlooked, like the tallest tree in the parklike Columbia City Cemetery in this picture from Campbelllsville Street evening commuter traffic. A strong visual, yes, and an interesting one too, like the times we live in. -CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
