Wandering Around Louisville, Kentucky

A day at the races in an iconic setting, a slugger like no other, and even a little moonshine - here are a few visual highlights from my exploration of Louisville, Kentucky.

100 Year Old General Hospital Postcard

This vintage postcard of the former General Hospital in Medicine Hat, Alberta was mailed over a century ago on August 13, 1914 to Wyoming, Ontario - a small town near Sarnia in the south of the province. The message handwritten on the back of the postcard confirms that this person was making their way across Canada on the train that summer.

The postcard reads: "Having a fine time. Wish you were along. Will leave here for Calgary this afternoon and from Calgary to Vancouver."

The postcard really was the text message of its day, and this one would've made the journey back east on the railway. I can only imagine what a different journey that would've been to take 100 years ago. The general hospital on this postcard has long since been demolished, however when it was built it was noted for being the first civilian hospital west of Winnipeg in 1889.

Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular

Lasers, projections, and fireworks - oh my! Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular is one of the night shows in Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The show features a variety of scenes from the Star Wars franchise projected onto the Chinese Theatre replica within the park. Here are a few visual highlights.
