On Saturday I was in downtown Louisville in the afternoon to see the fabulous Broadway play "Jersey Boys". Knowing that the play would be over around 5:30p, I brought camera along, hoping to get some good shots of sunsets on the Ohio River. Bingo! This is the old railroad bridge which connects Kentucky and Indiana.
Then here are a couple more shots of this view showing the changing light show:
I had to drive along River Road for a bit waiting for the sunset, so stopped at the old Louisville Water Tower to get these less flashy upriver shots of the river:
Finally, here's a not so good picture of the very beautiful water tower--I'll go back another time and try for a better photo when the light is better:
I'm slowly learning to always have camera with me when out and about instead of just planning photo shoots. It's all about not missing an opportunity to capture both the unexpected and the anticipated.

Very nice shots Faye..like how you captured the seagull in flight too!
Gorgeous color and the silhouette of the bridge is fantastic! The river itself has never been a beauty...kinda like the Kentucky River which stays dirty much of the time. These shots are great!
wow, Faye these are great views. awesome!! ( :
i'm having a Christmas Giveaway. be sure to stop by. have a great week. big hugs!! ( :
Beautiful, colorful sunset!!!
Beautiful capture of color. Awesome! enJOYed
Great photos, Faye. And I love the water tower.
That first shot is simply stunning!! And I thought water towers were always bulbous things...
If you still had light at 5:30 PM, you are lucky! Here, I carry a flashlight for our 5 PM walks...
gorgeous sunset light reflected in the water. :)
Your photos are wonderful, well worth waiting for! You never know what you'll find so I, too, have learned to always take the camera.
wow! wonderful pics! :)
Gorgeous shots of the sky and river. The sunset reflection is beautiful. Well done!
Beautiful sunset captures for Watery Wednesday!
Nostalgic and with a good mood!
love bridges.
Beautiful captures of that sky & I'm thinking the sunset light is very nice for the tower shot!
Thanks so much for joining =)
Great colors! You should drop by my blog tomorrow and submit this to my orange bases meme, Orange You Glad It's Friday :) Hope to see you there!
Wow, just WOW on that first one!
All are lovely but that first one with that reflection is awesome!
I'll have to disagree with Brian about the river never having been a beauty. Granted on rainy winter days the Ohio here is dirty as well but it's often beautiful too. :)
It looks so beautiful along the waterfront and how lucky were you to be in the right place at the right time to capture that stunning light show! I love the silhouette of the bridge in the foreground. Hope you enjoyed the play.
