The original artwork, by artist Dennis Patton, was made of wood. Because it was decaying, it was replaced with an identical one made of metal.
Ames, Iowa
This was a storm just Southwest of Ames, Iowa. It has been recropped as suggested. I also noticed during some fine tuning of the photo that there is a leader bold coming up from the power pole. Thank you for the suggestion.
Wasn't trying to take a nice snap here... Just wanted to show how creative these folks are, using plates as the edging for their gardening. How wonderful! :)
Bad thunderstorms tonight. Explore, June 25, #472. Highest position reached: Highest position: 157 on Friday, June 27, 2008.
There's plenty of snow on the ground... and yet, there's another storm front comming in overnight. That's life in Iowa.
Had I really never noticed this before, or forgotten about it? I pass this intersection a lot in Ames but this time I was waiting for a Cy-Ride bus nearby, in front of the Iowa State Center.
Built in 1971 by General Growth Properties, North Grand Mall was until very recently a very prosperous small college town mall. Now it's definitely on death watch.

If there ever were an award for weightiest resident, the prize would probably have gone to George Nichols. “Fatty,” as he was nicknamed, weighed close over 500 pounds, and was reported in 1915 to have a seven-foot waist line. He had his own side show in midwest county and state fairs. With his brother he operated the Nichols (later Morris) Livery at the east end of Main Street.

I was way too excited to get this photo in late 2022, a rare bleak-looking scene in Ames. There's actually a new hotel development set for this area, but it's been a vacant spot on Lincoln Way in downtown for a while.
This was supposed to be the top photo posted today, I don't know what order these will post I and I can no longer find the function to change "date uploaded" on a photo, can anyone help? Does anyone read these? If so, y'all should check out my underappreciated Tip Top Lounge photo/make me feel it's worth my time posting here again! (I will regardless, there's ways I prefer Flickr to another big site...)

I made the great choice in retrospect (new bikes hard to get during the pandemic) to buy this new bike in Ames on 1/2/20 because I knew I’d be coming back for a family emergency; I went back to Ames in late March but didn’t ride the bike till early June. This is my first ride outside home and first place I locked it up, an area west of Campustown. It was sold with the bell and rack attached; I added a beat-up milk crate later. Had a wonderful six weeks of biking in Ames!
I apologyze to those of you who may think this photo was heavily enhanced, or photoshopped... and before you invite me to those groups, let me say that this image (aside from a little contrast) is right out of camera.
Any chance you get to take photos of a freshly snow-covered Midwestern college campus, do it! Ames got 5.2 inches overnight before this and there were a few snow people around, this near Parks Library was the biggest.
Ada Hayden Sunset Lake, Ames, IA Tues Nov 3, 2015
Walking around Ada Hayden Lake, Ames Iowa. Motorola X front camera then rendered into black and white with Android Blackcam app. November 3rd 2015, 65 degrees beautiful day for a walk. 30 minutes before sunset at 4:15 p.m. I don't like that it gets dark so early, but easier to find sunsets.
