The World's Most Beautiful Places
An old abandoned barn located in a rural part of Gallatin County, in northeastern Kentucky, at the recently created Hartig Park & Wildlife Reserve. The nearest large town is Warsaw, and the park sits between the major cities of Louisville, and Cincinnati. Hartig offers numerous nature trails, historical buildings like the barn, camping, and a great vista of the Ohio River looking north into Indiana.
An old bourbon barrel from the Woodford Reserve Distillery, painted and turned into a decorative chair. Seen in Versailles, Kentucky. Bourbon is the signature liquor of Kentucky. The first Kentucky bourbon dates back to 1795, when Jacob Beam debuted his “Old Jake Beam Sour Mash’. Seven generations of the Beam family have been involved in the production of bourbon since that time.
A lawn jockey seen in the historic downtown of Versailles, Kentucky. Lawn jockey’s are a common sight in Kentucky, particularly in rural areas, and in particular horse rearing areas of the state, like the Bluegrass region where thoroughbred horse racing and the Kentucky Derby held each spring in Louisville, are a multi-billion dollar industry. Versailles, lies in the heart of the bluegrass, so I was not surprised to find one.
