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!

Death of the Blue Whale

This post is from a series of photos that I took this past summer. The images are from the demolition of a large US Steel warehouse in St. Louis. The area is being renovated and a new Ikea store just opened up. There is an irony to the fact that the new Ikea is blue and the old US steel warehouse was also blue. The structure was massive and very impressive not only in scale but detailing as well. The frame were very robust and yet they lay twisted on the ground as the demolition progressed. The "blue whale" is now gone awaiting some new Cortex facility.
