On our way back from MN on Monday I passed this scene and had to turn around. It mixes the past with the present and makes me wonder if this is really Progress.

Clyde Wynia makes these metallic creatures from old iron along with some he purchased. His creations are know world wide and are one of a kind. If you ever visit his place Clyde will be happy to show you around and tell a few stories. Be sure to visit the Hobbit house also. His wife Nan is an artist as well and makes beautiful glass pieces.

My wife and I took a two day road trip on the Harley. We just rode on back roads around our state. It is more enjoyable to us than the fast pace of the highways and we also get to see the fun little things like this sign in the window of the Mondovi, WI Police station. I had to turn around and take a photo of it.
