Wapakoneta At Night (Winter)

I haven't had a chance to take any pictures for the My Hometown Ohio blog so I thought I grab a few from my archive. These are from last winter.

Pyramid Hill

Pyramid Hill is a sculpture park and museum spread out over 265 acres of woodlands, gardens and lakes, with over 65 monumental sculptures. The park is located in Hamilton Ohio, just north of Cincinnati.



Most of the sculptures are abstract but a few such as Adams First Breath and Citizen are recognizable forms.





These two reminded me of two LazyBoy Recliners.



The park is a great place to spend a lazy afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. If you're ever in the area I would recommend stopping in and checking it out.

King of Kings

While on a business trip in Cincinnati I stopped by the Solid Rock Church in Monroe to get a picture of the King of Kings Statue.



The statue stands 62 foot tall and is reported to be the largest sculpture of Jesus Christ in the United States. The sculpture can be seen from Interstate 75.



It's easy to see how the statue has gotten two of it's nicknames, Touchdown Jesus and Big Butter Jesus. The comedian Heywood Banks made the statue even more famous when he wrote the song "Big Butter Jesus". The Big Butter reference comes from the statues resemblance to statues carved out of butter you see at the state fair.

The water was too choppy for me to get a good reflection shot. I bet this would make for a great night shot.

Life is Precious

This wonderful memorial to children who have died can be found outside the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in McCartyville in Shelby County just off of State Route 119.
