Back in November I happened to have my Canon 100mm macro lens on my camera as I was walking down the sidewalk to work. With the hills ablaze with vibrant autumn colors, I couldn't resist taking a few shots with the morning light being just right. (Best viewed large)

I hope that you're all doing well. Thank you for visiting.

Over the years I have photographed this old barn many times and its still one of my favorites . It sits along a country road near Brussels, Illinois . Whenever I'm in its area I stop by it just to see if it's still standing.

.

i am sorry i had nothing left for you.

my mind was willing and my spirit was strong.

my lips were tired and tightened from singing along.

my eyelids are heavy as anchors thrown over.

how high your highest of heights? how low are your lows?

i have seen you in the eyes of a hundred thousand other stranger faces.

i have seen you in unlikely and unfamiliar places.

i have seen you be reckless in matters of love.

i have seen by degrees the boiling point come and go.

how high your highest of heights? how low are your lows?

what lies at the end of this long and dark and twisted road?

how high your highest of heights? how low are your lows?

Today was one of those perfect autumn days in central Maine. There are some people who think that this is not real. Anyone who has lived in New England knows that it is. Please also visit: www.acadiamagic.com/.

Old Cottonwood Church by Todd Klassy

The old Cottonwood Lutheran Church is abandoned on what is now pasture land north of Havre, Montana.

I had to fend off a herd of beef cattle, including one very anxious bull, to get into position to take this photograph. Lucky for me they didn't much like the horn on my truck. They kept their distance long enough for me to set up my tripod and capture this image.

Looking out from the shoreline of Avery Lake on a foggy morning. If you look closely, you can see submerged dead trees. Those trees have been there about 50 years.
