Still on our road trip through the Plains. Many interesting things seen along the way….So I will pose the question to you. What is this? The story is, we had stopped at a roadside rest area along the interstate highway when I spied this going on across the road. So what are they loading in…

We view the Prairie Sentinels at the Cedar Creek Wind Farm: They are located near Pawnee Buttes, out in the northeastern plains of Colorado. An effective collaboration between ranchers and renewable energy. That’s why I particularly like the bails of hay scattered among the Windmills. On previous visits we only got this close (above); But…
The Return from Denver International Airport. On the ride out, I sat on the west side of the train. Returning to Denver, I sat on the east side of the train to get a different view. The east side was definitely more interesting. The long escalator from the Plaza back to the Train Station. Above:…

Let’s jump ahead to week #13 while I procrastinate instead of developing my rolls for week #10 and #11. For that week I shot a roll of Fomapan 100 in the Minolta SRT303 that Torsten Kathke so kindly lent me. It has a bit of a weird place in my collection. Not completely manual like…
I began this journey the simple way. The way that all journeys should start, with one foot put in front of the other, with small wheels turning, with the expectation of adventure and experience. I packed a small camera, one without many settings and options, and I used a trusted, simple, honest film. I took…
When the trip to Sweden had ended, the vacation hadn’t yet. Still, it had been a thing to look forward to, to plan and think about. And when it was over, it was over. It was, much like a Sunday afternoon, a reminder that normalcy would intrude into our lives again before long. We made…
Having returned from Sweden, it was onwards to visit relatives at their own summer retreat. Atypically for a summer house in the land of a thousand lakes, it is located by a river, or maybe better a brook. Clear, cool, flowing water that snakes by woods and fields. They have turned their riverside property into a…
Finland is not the most urbanized of countries, as you might well suspect. Where it is urban, however, it is very much so, and often in a brutalist fashion. Especially the centers of small and medium sized towns all over Finland often appear as if forcefully pulled into the 20th century at some point during…
