Kentucky Color: Celestial Lights 2021-02-21 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. By Billy Joe Fudge Long, crystal clear icicles, an almost black cloudless night, the perfect viewing angle and the waxing gibbous Moon above, provided what appeared to be a celestial light show for the ages last night! Although my Great Wooded South University Doctorate is in the Natural Sciences, I can't be 100% sure if this is refracted "Moonshine". Sorry, I could not pass up the opportunity to interject a reference to one of our very early, local, iconic, value-added, agricultural products! As usual with many aspects of American culture, we here in the Great Wooded South were ahead of the curve concerning the "value-added" phenomenon. I'm also proud to say that many of my enterprising, entrepreneurial ancestors were involved in this industry. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
