Throwback Thursday: Astrodome

    Took this photo most likely in 1994. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was in town, and I was apparently on the Ferris wheel at the time. I love the Dome. Opened in 1965, home to the Houston Astros baseball and Oilers football teams. I went to so many Astros games that I didn't know what it was like to watch a professional baseball game outdoors! It wasn't until I saw a game in Tiger Stadium in Detroit in 1999 that I experienced pro ball the way most people know it! I pray that they never tear the Dome down. It was the first of its kind and deserves to be preserved.

The Barn

Thursday's in the Barn

Thursday doesn't have a connection to barns, that I know of, but I it was the only day left when I was setting up subjects with days. I'm going with it.

This little barn has a lot to say. "See Rock City" barns have been seen all over the South since the 1930s, not long after the Rock City Gardens opened near Chattanooga, Tennessee. This one is located south of Eagleville, Tennessee on Hwy 41. This photo was taken in 2003.

This barn is located in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. I believe this is the one at the Dan Lawson home place. Lawson died in 1905 and was buried in a small graveyard on a hilltop nearby.
