Probably not for the faint hearted.

Cheers.

Phew, the glass floor stopped me. Yeah, I think I'll give it a miss :)

A couple of pictures taken in my local park this morning.



It is not a castle in the background, but a Victorian water tower.

When I took my St. James Art Fair pictures above, yesterday, it was still fairly early in the morning, and wasn't packed with people yet. I took that corn dog shack picture, but my mom and I weren't really hungry, so we passed it by. That neighborhood is called Old Louisville, and it's a few minutes from my house.

I would NOT want to be the electrician charged with changing lamps in the atrium chandelier - unless it's on a cable that lowers it to ground level....

No kidding, lol. I'd love to be there at night; I'm sure it's very pretty all lit up and with moonlight streaming in through the glass ceiling.
