I don't know why--but for some reason--when I went back to add a few more pics---it not only did that--it added a new thread---sorry about that guys!!!!

The boat as seem from the banks of the river as its tied up at a dock in a town in southern Indiana:

Great photos, Volty! I lived in, and near, Louisville, Ky, for about 30 years. Loved the Ohio River, too!

In the '70s and '80s I had a friend who restored a '50s era Chris-Craft Cabin cruiser. We spent many a pleasant week end on that boat.

Your photos brought back many good memories, too.

Thanks.

I particularly like 003...great color and back lighting on the house and the mist on the water is great.

:bigrin: Hey Volty!!! If youre rollin, rollin, rollin on th river, like the CCR did!!! My question is ??? What are you rollin up, rollin up, rollin up on the river??? :stoned:

Just had to ask that, cause people with inquiring (nosy) minds wanna know, ya know??? :rolleyes:

Actually, I'm glad to see that you managed to buy or buy into that ship that you were talking about this past spring. And a really nice boat, tell us about it!
ALSO, nice pics of the Ohio River! I like the river and river-boats, had a nice, older 25ft Chris Craft once. Wound up to be too much work / money to keep in the water, got rid of it. The Tennessee River runs through Chattanooga, where I live, lots of nice boats here. Some small, big, new, old, ETC. I do like to ski too, but haven't done it in a long time though!

SO, if you wish to post more pics,,, do so, you have my permission, OK??? :tong:

Your friend, :doggie:

Great pics!

By chance, were any of the pics taken near Madison, IN? The scenery sure looks familiar.

I was way too tired to post a reply the night I viewed your latest pictures. But, 5 minutes later, as I drifted from awake to sleep, my inner being was transported my bed to that river and that sunset.
I really like the pictures you post for our pleasure. I was way too tired to post a reply the night I viewed your latest pictures. But, 5 minutes later, as I drifted from awake to sleep, my inner being was drifted from my bed to that river and that sunset.

Yes--the ones of the boat at the marina at dusk were taken at The Lighthouse Marina in Madison---it is a pretty little river town.

Got a few more pics--a few more with the boat taken almost two months back now during a short trip upriver--- then a few more pics taken earlier this evening at one of my fave places just about anywhere---Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. Part of the vibe of the place, other than some good music, lots of folks bringing their Harleys and other bikes and classic cars--includes dogs, they are part and parcel of the place---in fact the "town" has a dog as the mayor. (one of those quirky sorts of things the place is known for--but that is part of the fun of Rabbit Hash)

The dog in the photos outside the Rabbit Hash store--his name is "Germ"--he is a good dog like most of 'em there--he made his way down to the store from his home up the road--he was walking down as I was driving in--he looked kinda sad for some reason---like there wasn't enough people around or something. I did have to give the poor guy some attention by patting him a few minutes---but with not enough people and dogs around--I guess he got bored and went on home.

The boat/river pics:

It sure was a great day--and we are forecast to have more of them this week---a nice gift from the gods----pretty soon it does have to get cold and yucky!!! I hope if you live someplace having this stretch of nice weather---you are able to enjoy it to at least some degree!!

The last two pics show part of the Cincinnati skyline lit up for Monday night football--the office tower is the new Western Southern Life Insurance Tower, still not quite ready for occupancy---with its "tiara" lit up---lower down is the ball park the Reds play--Great American Ballpark---Paul Brown Stadium is to the left where the Bengals play---but I was not in position to get a good shot of it from my vantage point.
They have lit up GABP in recent days to post up on the big board, a goodbye tribute to one of our greatest managers---Sparky Anderson who lead the Reds during the days of "The Big Red Machine" back in the 1970s.

I especially enjoyed the photo with the sun setting behind that house!

Please do feel free to share photos of the place you live and the places you visit---I have been trying to encourage others to do so on a regular basis---other sites I go to have threads that people post up their fave pics they have taken.

I'd wish we would do it here.
