For the next few photos, I am going to focus on old grist mills in Missouri. However, this is sort of a faux grist mill since it was recently built and never served as a mill. This is the entry way to Big Cedar Lodge’s Dogwood Canyon a stunning valley with beautiful waterfalls on bothContinue reading “Exploring Grist Mills in Missouri”

St. Louis Art Hill: A Fall Marvel
A favorite fall scene. This is an area known as Art Hill in St. Louis’s Forest park. In the background is the Art Museum looking over Art Hill which is lined by these trees. Like clockwork, every fall these trees turn a bright red. In the distance is the statue of St. Louis on hisContinue reading “St. Louis Art Hill: A Fall Marvel”
Fall in Indiana
One of my favorite places to visit is New Harmony Indiana. It is not far from St. Louis so it is a fun place to visit the town and have lunch at the Red Geranium Restaurant. Settled in 1814, New Harmony was first a spiritual sanctuary for the Harmonie Society and then a haven forContinue reading “Fall in Indiana”
Fall in St. Charles County
While out hunting with the Basset Hounds, this is an area we would pass through in the fall. This area borders St. Louis County along the Missouri. The hounds would chase rabbits, very rarely catching anything but was a good excuse to get out on Sunday afternoons and explore Missouri’s back roads. Click on theContinue reading “Fall in St. Charles County”
Gates
This is an interesting view at the Missouri Botanical Garden. These gates are directly in front of Henry Shaw’s home (behind me in this view) allowing a direct view through another set of gates to the Linnean House, quite a distance away. To the right of one of the posts is the Henry Shaw Mausoleum.Continue reading “Gates”
Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal
Here is a view of the Sturgeon Bay ship canal from the Front Pierhead Light. Next to the canal is the Sturgeon Bay Rear Canal Light. Both lights lead the way into the canal. The Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal is a ship canal connecting Sturgeon Bay with Lake Michigan across the Door Peninsula in DoorContinue reading “Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal”
Washington Island Stavkirke
The Washington Island Stavkirke was modeled after the Borgund Stavkirke constructed in 1150 near Laerdal, Sogn. That church was chosen since it is the best preserved and least altered example of this style of church architecture. The building has twelve 18-foot “stavs” or masts, all from Washington Island. Eleven are Pine and one is WhiteContinue reading “Washington Island Stavkirke”
Stylized Art of Cana Island Lighthouse in Door County
This is a closeup of the Cana Island Lighthouse. Near the northern tip of Door County, the light signifies the area between the straits into Green Bay or Baileys Harbor. The photo is stylized with software I have been experimenting with that gives it the look of a painting. The lighthouse is surrounded by LakeContinue reading “Stylized Art of Cana Island Lighthouse in Door County”
Fall colors at the Missouri Botanical Garden
While taking a Fall walk through the Missouri Botanical Garden, I found this area I had never seen before. These are the best fall colors in the area, in an unusual setting. These are possibly plum trees. Click on the photo to purchase. Click here to see more of the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Road to Northport
Just up the road from Gus Klenke’s Garage is the “windy road” or Highway 42 just before Northport. Northport is at the end of the Door County peninsula and where you catch the ferry to Washington Island. One story has it that the road was constructed to weave around utility poles that originally went straightContinue reading “Road to Northport”
