From (the very end of) my trip around the pond in Dec.

On another note, are we going to get northern lights in Michigan tonight? Anybody have chasing plans to share?

I like to stare into the sun... This is one of those ones I didn't really like until I tried it in b&w.

The informative signs said that when it rains the creek cuts through the forest - which you can see in the background. There was a little waterfall between the silvery and dirt colored parts. But the creek is hardly existent when it hasn't rained lately.

My abandoned house is gone. I drove by a couple of weeks ago, on my way to somewhere else (the other photo posted today), and it just wasn't there any more. I can't help but wonder if my interference sped up the process. I wrote back in October about how when I was there the first time, the owner's nephew saw me while he was driving by and stopped to see what I was up to while I was exploring and taking pictures. Maybe they thought it was dangerous to have around in case someone went in and hurt themselves or something.

I've just gotten into driving around in the country occasionally and finding abandoned houses and things in the last year or so, and this is my first demolition. I wonder what else I can expect from these experiences in the years to come. On another note, my mother was thrilled that my abandoned house was torn down.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
