I read on someone else's blog that they ventured out to The Beach Water Park. He had mentioned that it was abandoned. I was interested so off I went in search of this abandoned water park. Now I am usually pretty good at finding my way but today my inner GPS was so out of whack. First I hit the wrong exit, as soon as I got off the exit I hit major traffic, if you are from the area never, NEVER get off exit 19 off of I-71 on a Saturday, it took me 5 minutes to figure out I was in the wrong spot and another 40 minutes to get back on the expressway, I really should have gone home. I finally made it back on the x-way, 5 miles up the road I hit the Kings Island exit, phew, made it, or so I thought, thankfully I am female and have no ego problems so I stopped to ask for directions....twice. I drove by the damn sign 3 times....I should have gone home. When I arrived I found that the park is going to reopen in the summer of 2013, not as abandoned as I hoped. It was easy to get into the park, a little to easy, it wasn't until I saw security that I said to myself, I should really just go home, I decided to just walk the perimeter, photographed a little bit of the area and well, just went home. Next weekend the tress should be almost at 100% color, thought I might go up to Lebanon. It's a thought, at least I know how to get there.
Who the Heck am I
Welcome to my blog, I ran out of storage space on my last blog so instead of purchasing more space I decided to start another.
Photographing is one of my biggest passions in life. I've been a photographer for 20+ years. Although I have sold some of my work I consider myself an advance amateur. Which means I'm pretty good at pretending to know what I am doing. I arrived from Massachusetts to Northern Kentucky September 16, 2001. I hated it, for months I complained about living here, besides all the redneck jokes I would get there was nothing about Northern Kentucky I enjoyed, when I got over myself I dusted off my camera and headed for the hills, literally, I never fully understood what a beautiful place this is until I was given my first digital camera as a Christmas gift. In all honesty you couldn't get me to move out of this state.
Living so near to Cincinnati (I live right across the river) no other city can offer me more. Art museums, Cincinnati Zoo, symphony, theatre, aquarium, amusement park, Dozens of parks, one of the largest and most amazing firework display in the country and so much more. If you are from the area you know what I am talking about, if you're not, believe me when I say In and Around Northern Kentucky is worth the visit.
I know you will want to check out my other blog, I have shot photographs at the Behringer-Crawford Museum, Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati Zoo, Creation Museum, Eden Park, Findlay Market, Fountain, Square, Krohn Conservatory, Rabbit Hash, KY, Railway Museum, Smale Park, Spring Grove Cemetery and much more.
