Around the town

Today was a fantastic day. I had my breakfast at the hotel, then managed to head down to the Old Town of Louisville. Just the ticket, considering that I am a big fan of these old places. I took the trolley down and marched about in blazing sunshine. Frankly, summer sun sucks, especially when it's approaching midday. Bitching about Sol aside, I nearly wanted to pull out when I started seeing the old buildings.

It really is quite amazing to see the old French-inspired architecture, amongst other buildings from the Victorian era. I even managed to hit the Conrad-Cladwell house, which was quite the quintessential richly decorated Victorian mansion. Overall, it was quite the tour of the town and its historic buildings. Unfortunately, I did not go for the ghost walk at night because I found out online that the ghost walk was really effectively a walking tour without actually going into the "haunted" houses. A pity, really.

Anyway, I headed back after that and had a good walk down the waterfront. It really is amazing when the sun's down at 9pm, because that means the sunset (and sunrise) is effectively a whole hour. Plenty of time for some serious shooting.
