Since moving into UK, I haven't gotten out as much as I would've liked to watch trains. However, on Tuesday, I had a 3 hour break and decided to go exploring my new city and tried to find some neat little spots around town that were photogenic. Since Lexington is nothing but wires, I figured it would be a tough task. But alas, it wasn't. I spent two hours riding my bike around Lexington and thankfully found 2 good spots where wires weren't a big issue. Hopefully I can get a heritage or 2 at these spots soon :)
So without further ado, below are a few pictures from my exploration on Tuesday, hope you guys enjoy! As always, if you have a Flickr, follow me! >>https://www.flickr.com/photos/46459752@N08/
