5 Mile Bridge and Barn

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

…this old barn…

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

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

…the earth seems to be slowly consuming the structures…

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

…a stillness and peace…

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

River and Sky

I have been a runner for many years and, while I do still run, I am bicycling a lot more. This is one of my favorite destinations. It is a park along the banks of the Illinois River in Morris, IL. I have taken lots of shots here and I am always fascinated at how much a single location can change it’s character due to the weather and the change of season. This was a particularly beautiful day.
