sky art

It has taken some some time for me to come to appreciate living in the plains of the Illinois. I prefer the shore, and miss the wooded beauty of western Michigan. On the other hand, the beautiful unobstructed view of the heavens are sure beautiful here.

Horses

There is a beautiful estate/ranch not far from my home that I pass when taking my bicycle ride. The property has beautiful stables, a large mansion, and lots of horses.

5 Mile Bridge and Barn

…about 13 miles into my favorite bike ride I come across 5 Mile Bridge and…

Beautiful Barn

Barn Side

…i’ve often wondered about the story of this place…

Barn Plant

…untold stories that perhaps reside in someone’s heart and mind…

Barn Nails

 …the earth seems to be slowly consuming the structures…

Barn Door

…still, there is a quiet beauty about it all…

Next to the Barn

…a stillness and peace…

Not Quite Sure

B&W Barn

Beauty of the Barn

…whatever stories these images tell, I dedicate them to an inspiring friend and storyteller: Matthias. Thank you for telling such wonderful stories…
