Photos of Louisville - Downtown #1

This page contains an earlier batch of photos I took with a Sony Mavica FD-83 digital camera (belongs to the company I work for). These were taken the night of Sunday, 1 October 2000. I think. I must not have yet figured out at the time how to take better photos at night. [an error occurred while processing this directive]

Some of the cast-iron buildings on the north side of the 600 block of West Main Street. If I'm not mistaken, Louisville has the second largest collection of cast-iron buildings in the world, second only to New York City.

This is another shot of the cast-iron buildings. I like this photo better.

Kentucky Center for the Arts. In the foreground is the entrance to the parking garage, or something.

Kentucky Center for the Arts, again.

This photo could have been a lot better but for those darn lights, but I like it anyway. On the left is the Galt House hotel. Middle is an office tower, I think. On the right is twin office buildings.

The Humana Building, designed by Michael Graves and built in the early 1980s, was not Louisville's tallest building at the time as I previously reported here.

Now that most of the lights are out of the way, I managed to take a better photo of some of the buildings from #030.

Another shot of the Humana Building.

Fountains and courtyard of the Aegon Center tower, built in the early 1990s and now Kentucky's tallest building.

Another view of the Aegon and its courtyard.

The Kentucky International Convention Center, before some finishing touches were put on it. Darn lights!

This photo doesn't really belong here. It was taken on 22nd Street just before the intersection with Portland Avenue. The cars you see are going north towards Portland and the interchange with the freeway. I took this photo because there is something wrong here.
