Kentucky 2017 Part 3

[Roanoker]

We’re inside the Creation Museum.


I wonder what kind of food Noah ate.


The book store is under guard.


Any fossil hunter would love to find a specimen like this.


This is another fossil “stand” like the one above. I cut away everything except the display, with a portion blown up and used as a background.


The little guy on the far right must be a candy-striper, offering aid in a frog hospital.


I took a bunch of pictures focusing on this enchanting frog. Life is good.


This is a fake mountain lion, but he looks real.


Not so easy to cut a big fossil out of the ground.


Scary guy.


Isaiah, Moses and David, all in the same shot.


The Apostle Paul spent much of his time writing.

"This is a fake mountain lion, but he looks real."

"This is a fake science museum, but it looks real"

[Roanoker]

Noah, I presume.


Old printing press.


Lots to read.


Bricks and window.


These won’t eat your garden plants.


Of every kind.


Adam must have had a pet.


Scary animal.


Adam and Eve among my favorite kind of trees.


Who might this be?


Oh.


Innocence upended.

[Roanoker]

Scary.


Two of the ark inhabitants.


Keeping boards in place.


Everyday vessels.


Diorama. Two by two.


Checking out how the animals lived.


Tending to chores.


Probably Noah.


These are a few of the many people who laughed at Noah before the rains arrived.


Another group, not laughing.


Only eight believers.


Useful household items.

[Roanoker]

Happy to be back on dry earth.


Impressive eastern king.


After fussing with this image, I noticed that the creature has five legs.


Close up.


This one has four legs, and a substantial tail.


While driving through Ohio...


This building has a few alter-egos.


Cloud tries to intimidate buildings.


Cincinnati Bell wants you to know that the leftmost building is theirs.


We have traveled about 50 miles and will now board a bus for the short drive to the Ark Encounter.


The full-sized replica of the ark. We’ll hoof it from this point.


But we’ll catch a few flowers first.

[Roanoker]

We saw this “common” flower everywhere.


First good look at the true-to-specifications facsimile of Noah’s ark. Notice the tiny people.


Flowers along the way as we hoofed it to the ark.


Not exactly wildflowers.


Still pretty.


Almost like plastic.


It’s a big boat.


I wonder if the animals used a ramp like this.


Back end.


Back to front.


The sun is trying to peer over the ark’s backside.


Flowers be here.

[Roanoker]

The orange flower we seemed to see everywhere.


Just red leaves, but as pretty as flowers.


We are inside the giant, to-size ark. The framework may be interesting to some.


Husband examines would-be cages.


Urns had to be stored somewhere.


Learning or praying. Maybe both.


Sacks of something.


What might be stored in these pots?


Not sure what these were designed to contain. I didn’t read the signs, if there were any.


I should have spent more time studying this.


This is the other side of the one above.


Perhaps dinosaurs existed with man.

[Highlander]

Perhaps dinosaurs existed with man.

What does the geologist known as Gladstoner think?

[Roanoker]

He wasn't sure how to answer your question. I can say this, however. When he was younger, he commented on how odd that the ancient Chinese Zodiac would be made up of eleven real animals and one mythological beast. He would draw pictures of dinosaurs as we've all seen them, with plain skin stretched over bones and imagined flesh. Then he would put tissue paper over the dinosaurs and add features based on stories about dragons. I used to draw pictures of pretty girls and turned them into paper dolls, designing dresses and other garments they could wear. But I digress...

[Roanoker]

Cheering spectators.


The show.


More show.


Party after the show.


Pagan worship.


Too much water.


Something for the kids.


Back to work.


Furniture is always necessary.


My son walks down a long hall on the life-sized ark replica.


Reading a scroll.


Putting final touches on painted pottery.

[Roanoker]

We’re finishing up our tour of The Ark Encounter.


Everybody has to eat.


What I want is always on the top shelf.


A story-telling archway.


The center of this passion flower looks like a swastika.
