I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LOUART_180917_75.JPG: Catalog Number -- PALM 00012 Date -- 1999 Artist -- Yates, Dawn D. Artist Role -- Sculptor Title -- Charles Farnsley Description -- Charles Rowland Peaslee Farnsley (1907 - 1990) served as a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1936 to 1940, and in the United States House of Representatives from 1965 to 1967. Farnsley is best known, however, as having been one of Louisville's most innovative and eccentric mayors, serving from 1948 until 1953. In addition to creating the Louisville Fund, later known as the Fund for the Arts, Farnsley also expanded the library and park systems, improved city streets, and developed recreational facilities for children. A staunch defender of the Confederacy who was known for his trademark black string tie, it was nevertheless under Farnsley's time as mayor that Louisville began the process of desegregation. The statue was created by sculptor Dawn Yates, who holds a BFA from Murray State University and worked at the Bright Foundry. Yates took Farnsley's personality into account when creating her concept for the sculpture, commenting, "I took the liberty of making [the bench] extra long, because Farnsley was a very relaxed man, and he would have invited people to sit down and talk with him." (KG) Provenance -- Commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Fund for the Arts and the late mayor of Louisville Charles Farnsley (1907-1990) (MAJIC July 1999) (KHP Inventory) Dimensions -- H-7.333 W-3.917 feet Material -- Bronze Medium -- Metal Technique -- Casting Location -- 623 West Main Street, in front of the Fund for the Arts Building Signed Name -- Dawn D.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
