Merry Christmas! It was a chilly, gray day in Northern KY so
what better way to celebrate the holidays than with a hike. Fabulous fresh air… plus I needed to burn off
a few of those cookies.
From my viewpoint along the ridge on my hike, it
seemed as though The Mighty Ohio River had broken its banks! Well, no real worries, from where this
picture was taken at Shawnee Lookout Park, the river is supposed to break the
bank. The river is usually just under the vehicle bridge (I-275) in the
background, not under the train bridge too.
This is the first time that I’ve seen the ground below the train bridge
submerged. Now, just to the west of I-275 in Indiana, the ground stays wet for
most of the year. It is where the Great
Miami River flows into the Ohio River and forms a natural wetland known as The
Oxbow. I’m told this is a birder’s
paradise… it’s on my list of places to visit in the spring, though with my
camera I’m not too hopeful of capturing any spectacular bird pictures.
