Winter marches on… but that’s not to say that we have not had some beautiful days. This bitterly cold day was filled with gleaming, white sunshine, and the beauty of the Illinois River at Marseilles.

One more post from my recent Marseilles trip. Between being terribly sick and the business of Thanksgiving I have not gone out on a bike ride for almost two weeks now.  Feeling a bit nostalgic for a good long ride before the winter cold moves into the Chicago area.

Two more images from my recent “discovery” in Marseilles, IL.

Many of my images come from bicycle rides along the Illinois River. We live just 50 miles from the city of Chicago, and a bicycle ride 25 mores miles west brings me to the riverside city of Marseilles, IL. I have taken the ride many times, but on my most recent trip I discovered an old damn of some sort in a small canal near an abandoned building. I love old, abandoned “stuff”, so the next few images are from my recent “discovery.” Hope you enjoy.
