This “abandoned” farmstead still shelters a harvest wagon and is flanked by well-maintained fields. The mist and sleet provide stark contrast for the structure against the sky. Eaves, Chris (March 16, 2020). Abandoned Americana No. 7 [Photograph]. Odell, Ill. Shot on a Canon 6D at […]

This view of the Skykomish River can be found on Route 2. Most people only catch a glimpse of the river and bridge. At least the guardrail gave me some peace of mind as I walked along the roadway to get this shot. Skykomish River, […]
When I was here, the river came up to the edge of the forest, with no bank at the water’s edge. The water flows past quickly and swirls back into this area with a log and a campfire. Skykomish River, No. 3. May 22, 2023. […]

I recently had a few free hours at the end of the day while out in Seattle, so I took a drive east into the mountains. Here’s the first photo in a mini-series centered around beautiful Index, Washington. Amtrak runs on this line, and I […]
A photo from a recent day trip to Seattle—whoever said it’s always gloomy there? Also, to whomever put the QR code sticker on that pole, you stink.
At the end of March, I had a chance to visit Rantoul, Illinois. I hadn’t been there in nearly 30 years, back when the Air Force base there was still operating. I had been there twice, both when I was a young Boy Scout on […]
Last “new” photo from a 2007 trip to Puerto Rico, this one taken with a bulb shutter at night.
