• 18:06 We have no internet at the firehouse. This is extremely boring.
• 19:32 Why of all days did I have to drive the apparatus today? Wasn't supposed to be my day, but I was ordered to drive.
• 19:34 Ever try driving a 50K lb vehicle code 3 on icy roads? Just don't do it, trained proffessionals only. Still waiting for them to arrive :)

021/365 Louisville Bank

021/365 Louisville Bank, originally uploaded by Falls City Photography.

New for the next week, I am going to take all my photos with my AT&T tilt camera phone.

This is at Actors Theatre, the old Louisville Bank.

020/365 Toys

020/365 Toys, originally uploaded by Falls City Photography.

There is nothing that says every single photo I take for project 365 should be high art. Today is one of those days. One of the only vices I have is virtual flying, and I fed that vice today (with the assistance of holiday monies). I purchased a Saitek X52 Flight System. And it provided hours of fun (that's why this blog post is so late. Photo actually taken at 04:16pm 20 January 2009 for you sticklers for the rules).

019/365 First Snow

You would think that with the first measurable snow of the season, that I would have posted a photo of snow. Despite the high of twenty seven degrees here, much of the snow covering roads, objects and other points of interest has melted. I did find a nice little evergreen like shrubbery (hey I am not a landscape expert, I have no idea what type of shrub this is)that had a bunch of ice coating the branches. I have included below a few more photos and three from the graveyard behind the fire station.





I really liked this ice formation, very round and smooth.

018/365 Imminent Domain

Thanks to our 'Mayor for life' Jerry Abramson, an entire neighborhood now sits empty. The houses were declared imminent domain for Airport Expansion. Many families were forced out and a small few remain. The land now sits vacant mostly with signs that say "Keep out, Property of Louisville Airport Authority"

The project started in the early 1990's, and the land is still vacant.

017/365 Contact Tower

Click for larger image

All aircraft approaching to land and ready to take off are told to 'Contact Tower on 124.200' when ready. I am an aviation enthusiast and I have been trying to find the right conditions and location to take an image of the tower at Louisville International Airport (KSDF) also know as Standiford Field. Both images are HDR, and the sun could not have cooperated more. Enjoy!
