Bienvenue à Louisville – My Neighbourhood

by Cameron Miquelon on 19 July 2011 · 13 comments

Another prompt to represent my city, but luckily Nature had nothing to do with this one.

Bienvenue à Louisville

This week’s « Bienvenue à Louisville » was inspired by IFB’s Project Series, where members create posts based on the project’s theme. This one, Project #5: Love Your Neighborhood, asked of us to take a walk through our neighborhoods and show + tell what’s so great about where we live and why they inspire us.

I’ll let the photos of my neighborhood–Bardstown Road in The Highlands–do all the talking for me.

NOTE: All of these images were taken by my hand through my BlackBerry Curve 8350. If you desire to use any of my images, just ask. And if you’re Getty Images, be prepared to pay. That’s all I ask for.

The View From My Front Door

The view from my front door.

At the Crossroads

Why Not Louisville?

Microbrewed beer and food are over there.

Even the trash can is in on the fun.

A Radio Tower in the Highlands

A radio tower rising skyward into the darkness.

A Brick Alley

A perfect place for some photos, non ?

The booth remains long after the film has ended.

Chalk 5

More chalk beautification of the sidewalks.

Mural

And that is just a tiny slice of my neighborhood in the city I call home, Louisville, Kentucky. Au revoir mes amis ! Gros bisous ! xoxoxoxoxoxo
