Jacky writes, "This picture, taken on October 22, 2023, is looking southwest across the river and Swan Pond Bottom into the river hills below the Wolf Creek Dam. This is where the new river bridge will be. It shows where the roadway will cross Swan Pond Bottom and enter the hills below the Wolf Creek Dam."

Kentucky Color: Mid Autumn

2023-10-29 - Great Wooded South - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge
Billy Joe writes, "Just shy of mid-Autumn, near midnight on October 26, 2023, the iridescent glow created by moonlight in the Eastern sky seemed to be resting on the tops of my Loblolly pine. A quiet and serene evening that lent itself to meaningful contemplation. And for just a breathless moment while gazing at Saturn just to the left of the Loblollies, I felt as if I could see its glorious, equatorial rings!"
