Louisville Freeways Photos #1
(baby's first photos)
10 October 2000

On Wednesday, 11 October 2000 I will be driving to Atlanta, GA for the Linux Showcase conference. Today (10 October) I ran some errands and decided to take some practice photos with the Mavica FD-83. I decided to post them on the web, so here they are, for what they're worth.

This session includes photos of:

  • I-265 between I-71 and Westport Road.
  • I-264 Watterson Expressway westbound in the east end.

This and the next few photos are of I-71 northbound coming from downtown Louisville. I-71 actually takes a northeasterly direction from Downtown Louisville and most of the areas it passes through aren't very urbanized so you can't see much of anything except scenery.

I believe the thing blocking the right-hand edge in this first photo is a camera strap.

I-71 eastbound right at the Zorn Avenue exit. The exit sign is kind of chopped off in this photo.

This could have been a better shot of the diagrammatic BGS telling you which lanes take you to I-264 and which ones keep you on I-71 northbound.

This could have been a better shot of the BGS before the Watterson Expressway interchange.

This is I-265, the Gene Snyder Freeway, southbound coming from I-71. (I think.)

The sun was setting as I was on I-71 southbound so I decided not to take any more photos of that stretch; they would have sucked anyway. This is the I-264 Watterson Expressway about 2-1/4 miles before Shelbyville Road.

Blame the poor quality of this photo on the sun being to the right of me instead of behind me. This is I-264 just before we go under the I-64 overpass.
