bridge over calm waters

A quiet moment at the start of the day on a bridge high above the Illinois River.

it is so indescribably grand

Who would have thought that a big hole in the ground – albeit a REALLY BIG HOLE – would be so captivating and awe inspiring! My wife and I are on a road trip to California from Phoenix and we stopped to see the Grandest of Canyons. The picture below is me not doing what that guy is doing!!!

and i think to myself…

…what a wonderful world…

Put the pin down and walk away……s-l-o-w-l-y…..

Even on a rainy afternoon, it was still a spectacular view.

people rain, people rain

From the Oculus we went to the One World Observatory. The forecast called for possible rain and, we could see it coming towards us, carried in the sky by the rainmakers.

no birds were harmed

So, I post this with a bit of sadness. A few weeks ago I had a meeting with a peacock. You read that correctly: a peacock. The good news is that no birds were harmed while riding my Scout Sixty. The bad news is that my motorcycle and I had a close encounter with the road of the worst kind. We are both fine and, hopefully, repairs won’t take too long.

Back to the wind farm, but this time in a monochrome mood.
