Re-visiting historic Locust Grove farm, owned by the family of George Rogers Clark in the early 1800s. Clark was founder of Louisville, a Revolutionary War hero and explorer on the western Lewis and Clark expedition. The farm is about 20 minutes drive from downtown Louisville, Kentucky. I've used these photos of the split rail fence before, but thought they might be interesting in a collage to see how the rails would look side by side when shot from different perspectives.
Linking to Friday Fences at Life According to Jan and Jer .
The old split rail fences like these are beautiful, and we I them at historical site mostly. Locust Grove Farm must be so nice to visit. Your shots are so pretty. Yes, you guessed it right. Bud bikes to the track-calls me from fire station- I get in car and drive down-he slows down his pace and walks with me for a mile and a half-I drive home-he finishes his run and bikes home. It works great, and gets me to walk.

Just where is this...I will try to think and google it...but would love to visit it. Beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteJust thought, have you read Long Knife by James Alexander Thom? It is about G.R. Clark...and his book From Sea to Shining Sea is about the whole Clark family.
ReplyDeleteVery nice scenes. Great fence shot. Enjoyed it and the history.

ReplyDeleteI love those split rail fences. They make me think of summers in North Carolina with my grandmother and great grandfather.
