marseilles motorcycle

The first of a series of photographs take on a recent motorcycle trip to Marseilles, IL. I love the small towns along the Illinois River, and, this is one of my favorite. Pictured here is my uber-fun to ride Indian Scout Sixty. More to come…

Located on the right side of this image, the Tribune Tower is just one of the reasons Chicago is so photogenic!

Taken at the oh so quirky, crazy, utterly unique artistic statement known as Salvation Mountain.

Misty moments along the river…

We are all on a journey… we are all followers… we give our allegiance and attention to that which we understand will bring us redemption, or, some kind of relief from the darkness in this world and the darkness that lies within. As you journey on may you find peace and solace, grace and light, rest and welcome.

Almost done with my shore time moments. A little more artsy for this post, but, I think the last one will be in color… or…would you prefer black and white?

Another moment along the shore.

but most of all

The second in a series of photographs from my recent trip back to New York. I drove home to Illinois yesterday with memories of wonderful moments with my  mom and dad, family, and, of course, the shore.
