Bourbon Forest
Wandering in the woods is a lot more fun when it's not scorching hot. We got a break in the rain on Sunday so we sallied forth in search of trees.
Made our way down to Bernheim Forest in Clermont, Kentucky. You bourbon drinkers may have heard of Clermont, that's where Jim Beam comes from.
Bourbon is the reason Bernheim Forest exists. Isaac Bernheim was a distiller, started the I.W. Harper brand. Later on he bought up a bunch of land that'd been strip mined and started hisself a forest.
For a former strip mine it's really starting to grow on me.
Not sure why a forest needs a missile silo.
Maybe it was to protect the interstellar communication portal.
All the signs for this called it a prairie but we always just called'em hay fields.
For a forest there sure were a lot of lakes.
Reflected well on the place though.
Just watch out for the forest giants. Narcissus, he said his name was.
The place looks wonderful and a perfect place for captures.
It is a glorious bit of nature. I'm really looking forward to fall, when the leaves start to change color there.
Beautiful ❤️ photos
Thank you!
Welcome 🤗
That’s one hell of a place that’s for sure! It’s interesting what people will do with some land like that. Adding all kinds of art and dropping in a missle silo, very interesting combination lol
Lol, it really is. That last photo is of one of the three 'forest giants in a giant forest' which are really neat but usually overrun with people. Frederick Law Olmsted's firm designed the place, he's one of the people responsible for Central Park in NYC. Lol, I wish I knew what that silo was actually for but barring that I'm calling it a missile silo 😎
Thank you!

Demasiado bellas. Te transportan al lugar, te dan una especie de paz, te hace imaginar todos los colores de las cosas.
Jim Beam was my favorite poison. Probably because it's affordable and so accessible but for whatever reason, only one I can think of actually is the water, everything else is the same, bourbon's didn't hang me over like whiskey's.
Never was really into photography before this platform, you're one of the best and I'm not just saying that cuz you used the coolest #tag EVER!
Beam was mine as well, if I was living high on the hog I'd get 8 year old or black label. Lol, my problem was that I discovered that a little more Beam would cure any hangover I might have acquired.
Hey, I couldn't let it get dusty!
