A winter sunset along the Ohio River as seen from the Big Four Bridge in Jeffersonville, Indiana. In the distance one can see the Abraham Lincoln Bridge and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge which collectively handle the traffic of I-65 traffic coming down from Indianapolis and up from Nashville, Tennesse. Beyond that is downtown Louisville, Kentucky’s largest city.
The American Legion Mall at Sunset in Indianapolis, Indiana. The cenotaph seen in the foreground memorializes the nation’s first casualty of World War I, Corporal James B. Gresham of Company F, 16th Infantry and Evansville Indiana. Extending out further are memorials to World War II, Korea and Vietnam. As well as the World War Memorial.
The American Legion is a non-profit organization dedicated to U.S. war veterans, whose headquarters border the American Legion Mall. The organization was formed in 1919 in Paris, France.
An abandoned homestead in Brown County State Park near Nashville, Indiana. With poor, thin soils on hilly terrain, Brown County was one of the last places in Indiana to be settled. Farmers tried for years to make the area productive, but ultimately the vast majority began leaving the area during the Great Depression. At the same time a movement began to turn the area into a nature park. Today, Brown County, at more than 15,000 acres, is Indiana’s largest state park.
