From the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River, the Illinois Waterway is a marvel of engineering and commerce. This is Lock and Dam No. 6 and is in the National Register of Historic Places. And that’s now more than you ever wanted to know about this particular location 🙂 Taken from one of the beautiful hiking trails at Starved Rock State Park.
Since my last two posts had us visiting Devil’s Lake State Park in Wisconsin, thought we would explore a bit. The rock formation pictured here is known as Devil’s Doorway. The geological features of the park are really a delight and easy to enjoy: quartzite bluffs, hiking trails, rock climbing, forests, and, the lake all make up for a beautiful setting to enjoy the outdoors. My goodness! I sound like a commercial for the Wisconsin Department of Tourism!
Oh ‘cmon! You knew this was coming! 🙂 Also from Devil’s Lake State Park. Have a great weekend!
Taken at Devil’s Lake State Park in Wisconsin. Sometimes I look at this image and think, “Kinda cute!”. Other times I think, “Kinda creepy!” 🙂
Well, my last trip home to New York has resulted in a series of images of this water tower, and the beach. I have a couple more of the shore to post, but for now, the water tower wins the draw. My parents still live in the house I grew up in, so going home is always a wonderful experience. Jones Beach State Park is a big part of my growing up years, and, I will never tire of the shore and this cool structure. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Took my son and his buddies to a local state park last week and did what any other teenage boy would do: tried to destroy as many icicles as possible by throwing rocks at them. I mean, this just makes sense…..surprised it’s not an Olympic event….just sayin’…..
Back to Jones Beach State Park for this capture. Have a wonderful weekend!
I wonder what the tree did say to the light… any thoughts?
Another shot of this pretty cool piece of architecture located at Jones Beach State Park on the southern shores of Long Island.
I think I just created a new word! Taken at the Illinois River in Morris. I changed the background so you can see the entire image. Hope you have a great week!
