Kentucky Color: Art in Nature 2023-05-05 - Great Wooded South - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Billy Joe writes, "Nature has a way of titillating the senses through total immersion.

A masterpiece painted on the canvas of the soul. Each work etched, carved and painted by the Master Himself, to inspire, uplift, remind and heal. Maybe some of our geologist friends here in the Great Wooded South can enlighten us as to the nature of this sandstone formation." Use the CM Comment Form to send in your answers.
