Catlettsburg floodwall

Catlettsburg, Ky., has really done well with its floodwall. The paintings on it are professionally done, and they represent varying segments of local history and culture.





And when there's a building attached to the floodwall, it's painted in a way to blend in with the scene behind it.

Having just left the Ohio River, the towboat Nell heads up the Kanawha River as the sun prepares to set. Photo taken April 11, 2009, from the sidewalk of the Bartow Jones Bridge over the Kanawha River just above its mouth.
