World Equestrian Games - Lexington KY

The World Equestrian Games, an international competition, has come to Lexington and the city pulled out all the stops. There is a 16 day festival going on downtown. Here are some photos from the festival. Forgive an occasional blur, I didnt have a tripod handy and its a new camera.


A few test shots.


Main Street


Vine Street




Back to the festival. The Centrepointe site is finally getting some use.




There are one hundred (i think) of these horses spread around downtown all designed by different local artists


Cheapside Park and the Old Courthouse




Behind the stage in the new pavilion




I like our little collection of old midrise buildings




As the night went on more people started arriving








This photo didnt turn out so well. This is a heart.


Short Street










The businesses along the Cheapside block are busy


Mill street is not




Nothing going on in Triangle Park after 6pm






Another oe of thos old midrise buildings


I tried to make this steeple a focal point here, didn't turn out so well. I'll try again with a tripod someday


Most of the action is happening on Limestone. We ended up closing out the night down here.






Goodnight!
