Scenic Adair Co., KY: Contrailed Skies 2014-01-04 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A number of people have commented on the patterns and scope of the contrails in the morning sky. Whether one is agnostic on the subject, conspiracy minded, or just wants answers, the effect of these unnatural cirrus clouds is being studied by all. Even science writers from Nova, the public television series queston contrails' effects on the environment. See Nova: The Contrail Effect. The photo above was taken at around 8:30amCT, Saturday, January 4, 2014. We don't know what to make of the giant elfen Abraham Lincoln Angel hovering over this side of Columbia. Probably nothing. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Life in the Holler: Nine degrees. Who cares? 2014-01-03 - The Holler, Old Clearspring Roads, Ozark, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. Six year old Molly, who appears to have just gotten plumb tuckered out surfing the web with her iPad, didn't have a care in the world on the coldest day we've seen in the Holler in a coon's age. Even the racket in the unbalanced cat and dog fight - one cat and the three outside dogs, Fido, Jack and Buford, didn't disturb her slumber. - SHAMARIE Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Historic Adair County Courthouse: Stained glass windows 2014-01-03 - 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo By Linda Waggener, CM Photo. The same sky which gave Roseland Plantation it's rosy backdrop also gave the historic Adair County Courthouse natural stained class windows, as pretty as those in any cathedral. From snippets of information, there is rosy outlook for the courthouse this year, as many of the long laid plans seem to be coming together, with some still secret major tenants a possibility. Can say no more, except it's a reminder of the (1950s?) slogan, "Columbia, the City with a Rosy Future." The other 20th Century Slogan, "Columbia, Comtemplated Population 4,200," came true a long time ago - through economic opportunity creation as well as procreation, the city zoomed past that lofty population figure years ago.

Could this sky have given Roseland it's name 2014-01-03 - Near Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, CM photo. Maybe one of the history cousins knows how Roseland Plantation got it's name. Maybe it was named for one of these rare rose-streaked evening skies. Roseland is located on East Guardian Street, Columbia, KY. - Linda Paired Photo: See also - Historic Adair County Courthouse: Stained glass windows Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
