 CHEROKEE TRIANGLE
 We used to live on the other side of Bardstown Rd from Cherokee Triangle.
  We were on Eastern Parkway.
I took these photos from my Mother's hospital window in 1998.

I watched this plane do an emergency landing on highway 71!
Scary!

THE MARTIN CASTLE

VERSAILLES, KY
This castle was originally built, starting in 1968, and owned by Rex Martin and his wife as a private residence.  Although, they never lived in it, it has survived.
For a history…see the following website.

NOW, IT IS  'CASTLE POST'…A HOTEL

~~~STAINED GLASS WINDOW BELOW~~~
In 1995, St. Mary’s had the largest hand blown stained glass window in existence, 
24 feet by 67 feet, displaying 117 distinctive figures in all the 
gorgeous hues and tones of the spectrum. 
Among the scenes portrayed is the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.




I did not take the above photo.
I included it so you could see the window from the inside.

~~~THE PIER AT COVINGTON~~~






If you are interested in what's across the river from Covington,
look for Ohio-Cinncinati.

HORSE CAVE, KY
ONYX CAVE
 See the little people at the bottom, right hand side?

 I enlarged this photo to 11''/14" and it hangs on my living room wall

I will never be able to go into any caves again because of my eye sight. 
I can no longer see in the dark! AND..it is very dark with only foot lights to guide you.
