Homesick ??

I hadn't really thought about it much lately, but when I saw a huge canvas photo on Groupon (more than 4 feet wide!) of Cincinnati from the Kentucky side of the river where I lived for several years, I HAD to have it.  Surprise!  Not sure exactly where I'm going to put it, but I still can't wait to get it!

Although it looks like it was taken from Covington, while in fact I lived in Bellevue, it still looks "familiar" and I like it anyway. 

The picture above actually WAS taken from Bellevue.  I lived just a few houses away from that tall church with the green spire there in the center.  And I worked for a big patent firm in Carew Tower, one of the tallest buildings in downtown Cincinnati, right on Fountain Square.  We were on opposite sides of the River, but I could see it from my house (if I went outside anyway).



Carew Tower is the building on the top right here



Again - Carew Tower on the right.

Okay - enough.  It's just that seeing that big photograph had an effect on me for some reason.  Of course, when I remind myself that there was no way I could have afforded to have a property large enough for horses and mules up there it DOES make a difference.  I guess I want to  stay down here in Louisiana after all.

Sigh.
