Brookville  --  part 2

Ok… the next morning.

Guess we’ll go exploring and take some pictures.

What’s this?  A train trestle?

I’ll bet I could get some great pictures from the middle?

 

Alright…. This is a pretty good spot.

 

Nice picture!

 

Maybe I should check to see if a train might be coming?

I think the Indians or cowboys used to put their ear

on the rail but I can’t get down there very well.

I don’t feel anything…..

 

  

OMG… Is that a train whistle?

 

Yep… got off that track with 5 minutes 

(maybe 2)  to spare.

 

Enough excitement for a while.

Let’s see what else is out there.

 

Corn stalk rolls?

Don’t think I ever saw those before.

Big too!

 

Sure nuff, a whole field of them.

Metamora is Indiana's treasured 1838 canal town. Nestled in southeastern Indiana's beautiful countryside, Metamora is steeped in history and famous for its preservation of Indiana's oldest and still operating water-powered grist mill.

While in Metamora, journey through the early 19th century history of horse-drawn canal boats, which fueled the Southeastern Indiana economy until its displacement by the railroad. Shop in stores housed in historic buildings dated back to the early 1800s, feed the ducks along the canal, try some homemade fudge or ice cream, eat and above all else... Enjoy the slow relaxing pace of the past.

Metamora is one of the most charming and fascinating towns in Indiana!  Well known for its wide range of delightful shops, restaurants, friendly shopkeepers, events, festivals, and tasty eats and treats. 

 

Love this cute little house on the canal.

 

The canal boat that is drawn along by horses.

The aquaduct from a distance.

I keep trying to paint this scene but it doesn’t seem

to work for me. Too bad, I like it.

 

Time to head home….. Let me see,

Which way do you suppose this is?

 

OK…. Bye

I should get busy painting.
