In and Around Northern Kentucky 2.0: Smale Park

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.

Smale Park, Cincinnati, OH

I'm embarrassed to say that this is the first time all summer that I managed a visit to the park, better this time of year though when it is almost completely empty, I started towards the new section of the park when a bunch of kids in swimming trunks were headed that way as well and then the fire department showed up, going to wait for another day to explore.

Back to Smale Park

I headed back to Smale Park to photograph what I couldn't before and to try different angles with what I have photographed in the past. It was so beautiful there, no children, very few people. You have to take a look at the last photo, it is totally creepy. Do you see the same thing I do?

Back to Smale Park

Headed back to the park again this evening. Parking was a little bit of an issue but eventually I found a free spot again. If you haven't checked this park out yet you really need to. For those of you that are not quite sure how to pronounce the name of the park...take the word mail and put an S in front of it...sounds like Smail.

You can tell by the tree it was a little breezy out tonight. I can't wait until the fence comes down, it really takes away from the photo.

I would pack it all up to move here.

Reds fan maybe? Lets Play Ball!!!

If you look closely half way up the Freedom Center you can make out an orange light, that is a fire they have going all the time, I'm assuming (and I am not the sharpest tool in shed) that it has something to do with representing freedom. It's kinda cool.

Smale Park

I found out something last night that you might want to consider if you decide to visit Smale Park at night, they turn off the lights around 11p.m. Free parking is extremely difficult to find, a parking garage is located very near the park if you don't mind paying.
