Skykomish River, No. 4
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, No. 4. May 22, 2023. Snohomish County, Washington.

Skykomish River, No. 3
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. Snohomish County, Washington.

Bridge into Index
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 saw it fly past while I was at a crossing.…

Niagara of the South
A slightly different take from “Southern Falls“, which I published in 2018. This one has a bit of foliage framing. As you can see, I’ve now made it into 2010 on this journey through my digital archives.

The Maine Coast

Around and Around
I’m taking a posting break this week as I work on images from two walkabouts I took last week. Here’s a shot from earlier this winter. It snowed this past weekend, so it’s still relevant, at least here in Chicagoland. Eaves, Chris (Jan. 25, 2020). Around and Around [Photograph]. Elgin, Ill. Shot on a Canon…

Tree in the Fox
Photo no. 13 in my new 14 image series. Several of the images in this series have been along the Fox River, and today I’m posting a proper photo of the river. Eaves, Chris (May 20, 2019). Tree in the Fox [Photograph]. Dundee Township, Ill. Shot on a Canon 6D at 16mm, 1/100 sec., f8…

The Old AE & FRE Line
Photo no. 12 in my new 14 image series. Just your run-of-the-mill winter scene with deer prints and footprints. Well, except for that weird fat rut running down the middle of the trail. The snow that day was that horrid kind of slush that is impossible to walk in with boots and snowshoes alike. But…

B&W Studies, No. 8
Photo no. 8 in my new 14 image series. This poor tree has gone terminally horizontal. Eaves, Chris (May 20, 2019). B&W Studies, No. 8 [Photograph]. Lisle, Ill. Shot on a Canon 6D at 100mm, 1/800 sec., f6.3 at ISO160. Patrons got early access to the complete series at Patreon. You can see the complete…

B&W Studies, No. 7
Photo no. 7 in my new 14 image series. Another minimalist vibe with barren limbs stretching for the clouds. Bonus points if you spot the dragonfly. Eaves, Chris (May 20, 2019). B&W Studies, No. 7 [Photograph]. Lisle, Ill. Shot on a Canon 6D at 100mm, 1/800 sec., f6.3 at ISO160. Patrons got early access to…

B&W Studies, No. 4
Photo no. 4 in my new 14 image series. I like how the red filter gives the sky and clouds instant drama and contrast. The clouds didn’t last long that day and were gone by the time I wrapped up shooting. Eaves, Chris (March 16, 2019). B&W Studies, No. 4 [Photograph]. Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Shot…

B&W Studies, No. 3
Photo no. 3 in my new 14 image series. If you stare at this image long enough, you’ll start to make out a tree-person wanting a hug. Eaves, Chris (March 16, 2019). B&W Studies, No. 3 [Photograph]. Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Shot on a Canon 6D at 29mm, 1/200 sec., f6.3 at ISO100 with a red…

Fox, Ice, Trees.
The trees look like something from a dream as the sun shimmers off the ice-covered landscape. The brutal cold of the day made for some frozen fingers, but the ice-storm from the morning made for views that the camera just can’t do justice. Eaves, Chris (Feb. 13, 2019). Fox, Ice, Trees [Photograph]. South Elgin, Illinois.…

Front Porch
Part 7 of 17. When the plantation was built, the Mississippi River would have been visible from here. The levee blocks the view now, but we can pretend. Eaves, Chris (March 25, 2019). Front Porch [Photograph]. Vacherie, Louisiana. Shot on Canon 6D at 17mm, 1/100 sec., f4 at ISO100. Support me on Patreon (chriseaves), and…

Atop Starved Rock
After a trip to the wonderful Lodge at Starved Rock State Park, we take our obligatory hike up the infamous hill, look out at the Illinois River, and ponder life in the era of canoes and trappers. Eaves, Chris (Sept. 22, 2018). Atop Starved Rock [Photograph]. Starved Rock State Park, Illinois. Shot on a Bronica…
