The World's Most Beautiful Places
A coal barge navigates the Fourteenth Street Bridge Drawbridge, and McAlpine Lock and Dam at the Falls of the Ohio on the Ohio River at sunset, between Louisville, Kentucky and Clarksville, Indiana.
A gravel barge is seen in late evening traveling up the Ohio River along the waterfront of downtown Louisville, Kentucky. Across the way are Clarksville and Jeffersonville, Indiana. Barges carrying gravel, stone aggregate, coal, and other commodities are a common sight along the river at nearly all times of the day and night. In many places such as Louisville, and Cincinnati they have to navigate not only multiple bridges where interstate highways cross, but also dam locks. In fact just before this picture was taken the barge shown passed through the McAlpine Lock and Dam system at the Falls of the Ohio.
Christmas wreaths decorate the graves of military veterans at Zachary Taylor National Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. Wreaths Across America is an event that occurs each December, and honors veterans that have served in all branches of the US Armed Forces.
The cemetery is named after Zachary Taylor, a military veteran, and the 12th president of the United States. As the former cemetery of the Taylor family, Zachary’s tomb is located at the site along with those of more than 14,000 veterans.
