Images from Rural Mequon Wisconsin


 On my many trips to visit Mequon Wisconsin I noticed this abandoned farm house and barn. Mequon appears to be on the verge of development so I would expect this farm to soon be converted into a suburban development or retail center. Part of it is already being reclaimed by nature. The house that had been most recently partially renovated has been damaged by vandalism. A failed attempt at a new life given up. The farm is from another time complete with out house and likely once was quite important to a family who worked the land. But now that land is mostly gone. Yet the farm likely still has emotional links and latent memories. All of this results in a sense of mystery which I think leaves a sense of the hidden and unsaid in these photos.

Rural Images from the Fall

It has been too long since I have posted. The camera's have been used sparingly and the time to select and edit h as been in even shorter supply. So I decided that I just needed to make a blog post of some images that were taken late last fall. These are small town images and rural images of Indiana and North Eastern Illinois. As you can see the light changes from typical sunny fall day to rain and fog. Classic Midwest small town images. Enjoy!

Collection of Rural and Urban Images

I took these images a few weeks back over a coupe of days between Christmas and New Years. I had to drive to Columbia Missouri for a project and decided to take the back roads home and photograph. I found some really interesting architecture, some abandoned buildings, and some powerful landscapes. Please enjoy. If you like these images please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
Thanks!
