Part 7: SkyWatch Friday and end of the trip.....

It's SkyWatch Friday and I'm showing some of the sky from last week's trip we took to the area of Indiana around Seymour, Clifty Falls, Madison, Vevay, and Rising Sun to finish off my posts from that trip.I chose this shot for the moody sky, but the one below shows this wonderful figure on this old Firehouse tower in Madison, IN in better color.
I really love this!
Mike took this one, I believe and I love the afternoon light shining in the window. Wish I could do away with the traffic lights and wires.
How do you like the name of this firehouse?? Cool!
There were several old men sitting out in front chatting with people who were passing by.
Another moody sky shot behind an attractive steeple. Don't know why Mike took this on the slant!

A neat little cemetery and fence.

The building looked its age.
Another interesting steeple and I have no idea where I took this one.
Vevay had a lot of neat houses and I like the roof on this one....
....and its matching garage.
Beautiful mural. I love to see buildings use their sides for murals.
A strange bush....don't know what it is but it was on the waterfront in a park.
The historic Steven's house....see the sign below for information.

A mansion overlooking the Ohio River in Vevay. Not really that attractive, but interesting.

This barn and horse were next door to the covered bridge shown below.
Barn Swallow....maybe he lives in that barn?
Indigo Bunting singing on the wire. The light was wrong for a good shot, but I liked this anyway.
Otter Creek covered bridge.
Mike walking through looking at the construction.
A tree at the end of the tunnel :-)
This is the end of my trip, also.

Hi Mary looks a nice trip. I think the bush is having a 'bad hair day' and that the church is not on the slant its on a steep hill, Mike was straight its the church that was sloping.( us guys stick together you know) Have a good weekend I am just off to eat Birthday cake our grandson is three today.

Awe Shucks, Mary... I'm sorry that this is the end of your trip pictures... I've enjoyed all of them so much.

Love all of the sky pictures today --along with the towers and chimneys. That home (and garage) in Vevay is fabulous.

Thanks again for taking us on your trip!!!
Hugs,
Betsy

I've enjoyed your trip and this is a good way to finish it up. I really like the weather vane on the firehouse.

Mary said...

Phillip: I didn't see any explanation about the mural but assume it is how the town looked many years ago. There are a lot of neat little towns along the Ohio River that have murals on some of their flood walls.

Thanks everyone! We love to drive around areas like this and just wait to see what interesting things might come into view. My favorite way to travel.
