Walking in the Footsteps of History

In 2006 I was making my way down to Florida to see Purdue play in the Champs Sports Bowl. I made a few stops on the trip that interested me. I have always tried to throw in a Presidential Library when I am close to one. It doesn’t matter what party they are from. It has always interested me how someone rose up to the largest office in the country. Someone like Carter made a rise that few would expect from the kid from Plains, Georgia. It was very cool to see a little behind the man.

I made some photos inside the library, and then walked out on to the grounds. I was not much of a landscape photographer at the time. I did however recognize the reflection in the water. This is not one of my best shots, but you can see early on some of the things that I liked to do.
