I snapped this shot in rural Illinois years ago, somewhere outside Bone Gap, IL on a quiet country road. If memory serves, it was the same road as the defunct railroad tracks/trestle I posted previously.

I took this photo over a decade ago outside some little town in rural Illinois near sunset. #photography

I'm going to start sharing some of my favorite photos I've taken to try to bring a little light to the darkness that is our current timeline. I hope you enjoy these glimpses through my lens. This was taken in the Great Smoky Mountain National Forest. Newfound Gap Sunset

I also take photos of critters.

It's almost as good as a fur pile (no not that kind. Get your head outta the gutter).
