Images from my trip to Lexington, KY

[hipsterdufus]

Went to Lexington in July for vacation. We wanted to do the bourbon trail, see some state/national parks, and visit Mammoth Cave. Overall, it was a great time and I shot the whole thing in black and white on Neopan. I figured I'd share the results with you. All of the pictures were made with my Leica M3 and Summitar.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I really like Lexington and the surrounding area. Quite beautiful. If you ever visit Lexington, go to Pazzo's; get the Mezzaluna and one of their awesome craft beers. You'll be in heaven. Also, the Beer Trappe is a really cool idea. Part beer bar and beer store wrapped up in one. Woodford Reserve had the coolest/most interesting distillery tour that we took down there (also went to Buffalo Trace). The Red River Gorge area (where the Natural Bridge State Park resides) is really beautiful as well. Overall, Kentucky is a great place to visit.

Nice travel photo-journal, Eric.
I like the limestone wall and the carved face shots.
