The Henry County Library recently received a very unique photograph taken by former Clinton resident Mr. Bill Gilmore. The title: Sunset in Paris depicts a view of a sunset showing the Seine River and La Conciergerie, a 14th century prison. The tourist boats are very popular in Paris. They travel the Seine River to view the various attractions such as the Eiffel Tower. This wonderful work of photography was donated in memory of Mrs. Jeannette Calvird and can be seen proudly displayed in the library gallery.
Bill Gilmore, Travel Photographer has been to many interesting places such as Europe, South America and various areas in the United States taking unique photographs.

He has traveled for many years with the philosophy that meeting and engaging with people in their unique part of the world is the true reason for traveling.
