This was taken off Interstate 39 just North of Bloomington, Illinois. This is one of those situations where you are driving along the highway and you see one scenic barn after another and finally have to stop and take a photo! This is a 3 shot HDR photo using the corner of my car windowContinue reading “Scenic Barn”

Devil’s Pool Restaurant
Here is a night photo taken at Big Cedar Lodge near Branson, MO. This was taken hand held with a Nikon D90 using a Nikon 35mm 1.8 lens.
Dogwood Canyon
In Southwestern Missouri there is a private park (open to the public) called Dogwood Canyon. Filled with waterfalls, unique bridges and scenic vistas, this is a “must visit” place! A 6½ mile paved path lets you see it all. Be sure to bring your camera!
Daffodils in early Spring
More Springtime Daffodils. This time from St. Louis’ Forest Park. As I have stated before, this is one of America’s largest and most beautiful urban parks. Be sure to click on the links to see more photos of the park if you have not been there before! Here is a scene of the Park’s suspensionContinue reading “Daffodils in early Spring”
More converging lines
Here is another photo with converging lines but in a different environment. Taken on a very foggy morning just hours before the snows arrived in Wisconsin’s Northwoods.

Lake Minocqua

New Car
Here is a little scenic corner in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin with a truck that has a new life as a flower bed! Of course, had to stop to take a photo.
Sunset in Forest Park
It is always amazing how beautiful our Forest Park can be. I am trying a new Sigma lens here. Had to take the photo quickly to capture the geese so the photo is not as sharp as I would like…
Highway 51 Bridge
A number of my photos and articles here have been about low light or night photography. I thought I would share one of my favorites. This is the Highway 51 bridge allowing access onto the island city of Minocqua, Wisconsin. This is the third bridge constructed here in my lifetime and I think the 6thContinue reading “Highway 51 Bridge”
