Treetops and towers from cutoff Antioch Road 2011-06-27 - Antioch Community - Photo by Ed Waggener. This view of three Columbia/Adair Utilities District Towers is from rerouted side of Antioch RD, now reached from a new KY 768 approach from the top of Wheeler/Lynch Hill. The three water towers, from left seen from this point are the Raider Bob Tower at Holladay Place, the Bomar Heights Tank, and the Lindsey Wilson onion tank which, from this vantage point, looks all the more like a rising or landing UFO. Earlier the third tank was listed as the McCammish Manufacturing Plant/Oshkosh B'Gosh tank on Industrial Drive, but Billy Joe Fudge, and experience placer of things from his years of reading topo maps, said it's the LWC tank. Mr. Fudge says the view offers distinct views of two major creek valleys, the closer Petty's Fork valley, and the more distant Russell Creek Valley.

Awakening of our Little Sleeping Princess: Tillie 2011-06-27 - Shelby Co., KY - Photo by Uncle Pen. Once upon a time a beautiful sleeping princess was awakened, left photos to an adoring family, whom she pondered judiciously, before delivering her verdict, right photo. Down here, in Adair County, we think she's already exhibiting her Chelf of Knifley background. Matilda Anne Waggener is the granddaughter of Linda and Ed Waggener, Columbia, KY, and first cousin of Graham and Evan Waggener of Shelby County. The sequence was photographed at a Shelby County traditional weekly Pie Sunday celebration. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
