The fading signage of the United Tobacco Warehouse emerges from Lexington's urban landscape like a ghost of commerce past, its bold typography speaking to an era when Kentucky's economic identity was written in tobacco and horses. Viewed through a colonnade's weathered columns, the scene layers history upon history, frame within frame.
The infrared capture bathes the industrial scene in warm amber light while power lines cut across the composition, connecting past to present, rural tradition to urban evolution. This image captures architectural elements that serve as monuments to the region's economic transformation and cultural memory.
