The World's Most Beautiful Places
A foggy morning sunrise near Lexington, Kentucky, the center of the Kentucky Bluegrass, and thoroughbred horse racing. Outside the city limits, large horse farms circle the city for miles. And in the mornings, especially during the spring and summer months, you may witness an otherworldly landscape and fog floats across fields of green lined with black fence, and through woodlands of oak, walnut, elm and maple.
Soldiers and Sailors Monument located in Monument Circle in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is part of the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza National Historic Landmark District. Built in 1902 it stands more than 284 ft tall. It pays tribute to veterans of the American Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, the Mexican-American War, and the Spanish-American War. The obelisk-shaped monument is built of oolitic limestone from Owen County, Indiana. Architecturally it is considered neoclassical in design.
The monument includes sculptures of George Rogers Clark, William Henry Harrison, James Whitcomb, and Oliver P. Morton.
A sandstone carving of a woman on an exterior brick wall of the Howard mansion in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The home is the location of the Howard Steamboat Museum, which illustrates the accomplishments of the Howard Family and the Howard Ship Yards, which eventually became Jeffboat, a well known business in Jeffersonville for decades. Howard Ship Yard constructed more than 3000 boats, and its successor is the largest inland shipyard in the United States.
The mansion itself is of Victorian architectural style and is located along the waterfront of the Ohio river. Its interior stairway is a replica of the stairway of the steamboat J. M. White.
