After our two days in Asheville we continued on to Louisville. I had never visited Louisville before and I wasn’t sure what to expect. We ended up really enjoying our time there. The downtown has changed and grown and there was a lot for us to see and do and a lot to drink and eat within a just a few block radius of the Galt House Hotel where we stayed. Our first day in town we wandered down to the Riverwalk on the Ohio River. The Riverwalk is an outstanding paved trail right along the Ohio that goes for many miles. In fact, an old railroad bridge (Big Four Bridge) has been turned into a pedestrian bridge and takes you over the river into Indiana. The trail goes on for miles and miles. We walked a couple of miles and we also rented shared bikes for one hour and headed over to Indiana. In terms of Photos by Frances photography, the day was overcast so I flipped my camera into black and white mode. I gotta say, it was a dream landscape for me as an urban photographer who focuses on architecture, lines, and compositions. It appears that recently the Ohio flooded its banks (it was still 5 feet above normal) but the effect on the Riverwalk was eerily post-apocalyptic. It didn’t help that we were some of the only people down there. There was debris, trash, and mud still lying on many portions of the walking path and in the main park (Waterfront Park). Here are my favorite photos.
