Around Town

It has been a mostly cloudy week in our little corner of the world, so I thought I would post a few shadowy pictures that I have taken over the past few weeks.



On the left is the view from our office looking up College Street toward WKU's Cherry Hall. On the right is the Amphitheater also on WKU's campus. The columns are a very popular spot for photos, especially at Prom time.


I couldn't post pictures of WKU without adding one of our beloved mascot, Big Red. 


Next we have a few shadows from the local UAW Hall.  My Dad was a teamster and so is one of my brothers, so the Teamster's Logo is a well recognized symbol in my life.

The Justice Center is at the end of the block from our office. It is a beautiful building and one that we frequent often, though I do not think that I will ever feel totally comfortable in a Court setting. 


I do enjoy seeing the building at night with all the lights.


Linked with Shadow Shot Sunday 2 and Straight Out of The Camera.

  6. Excellent....I always enjoy viewing the city buildings and getting a bit of blogger's surroundings and what could be a lifestyle because of the architecture and the civilian support. Big Red huh? That is the nickname for Nebraska's Cornhuskers [my birth state]...but sadly, I don't even know if the 'huskers have a mascot. That last building [the angled shot at night] at first glance from the corner of my eye as I was reading what you had -describing it- I thought it was a saxophone. O Gimme a break...it's early!!

    Have a super great day.

  11. Ah, Bowling Green is the home of the true American sports car, the legendary Corvette - very cool! A university often gives us many classical sights and shadows - the domes college building is beautiful, the columns that make many classical shadows beneath- very nice. Big Red is great too, a whimsical and fun mascot. Thanks for a tour of a fine town!
