Scenic Kentucky: Green Grass and Blue Skies 2011-04-10 - Hwy 55N, Columbia, KY - Photo by Pen. The beautiful Charles Wethington/Lee Place/Tommy and Sue Dowell farm on Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY, has been transformed from an almost rustic but picturesque farmstead into highly productive - and still beautiful grassland by Mike Hatcher. The waves of grass are not amber, but the scene with green grass, blue skies, and pillowy clouds evokes the same patriotic pride, the same inclination to hum or sing the unofficial national anthem, however badly one may do so.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: The home behind the grapevine 2011-04-09 - Photo by Linda Waggener. Behind the lasso grapevine (previous photo on Jr. Loy Road) still exists the homestead to which it belonged. Who knows why a photographer might be drawn to places like this, perhaps to wonder about the family that tried to make a living there and had to move on, leaving the house behind. Rural Kentucky countryside is dotted with structures like this one, gradually going back to the earth. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
