Originally posted September 25, 2007. I brought it forward because I miss Sonoma county so......and because it's my most recently published image, in a Bike Monkey special edition on the Amgen Tour of California ( issuu.com/bikemonkey/docs/atoc2012 ) . ;-) I love the way fog lights up with backlighting. It was probably COLD down there in the valley, but so glorious up above the fog! ;-) Somewhere in the valley between Petaluma and Bodega Bay,CA. Sonoma Mountain in the background.
Path to a cell phone tower, owned by American Tower Corporation, located off PA Route 309 in Lehigh County, PA.
I used to go walking around here with my dad when I was a kid. The Appalachian Trail is accessible from the parking area off 309 (and from a point along the path pictured).
Got up at 5 am to go hike around in -1 deg temps just hoping for some good light on the fresh blanket of snow.
It be Friday and we have fence. I have snowy fences too, but I am not in a frame of mind to post them.
Completed in 2007 in the Modern style, Mecklenburg County Courthouse in Charlotte, North Carolina faces northeast and is a nine story glass and concrete structure. The building forms a triangle on the southwest corner with at tower rising above the building and having large pillars rising three stories at the recessed entrance. The top of the tower is open with thin pillars supporting an overhang. Large pillars run along the north and east sides and rise three stories. The top story has recessed windows with square concrete framed openings.
Recommend to start the loop hike from Peterson Trail to Sanborn Trail, then to San Andreas Trail, for a gradual elevation gain. Start with San Andreas Trail if you want an intense workout.

What a marvelous landscape. Unfortunately, the weather was pretty lousy. Some of the pictures have raindrops on the lens. Almost inevitable, when the rain was so hard I was almost drowning.
Milwaukee, WI (Milwaukee County)
Milwaukee is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States. The seat of Milwaukee County, the city is located on Lake Michigan's southwestern shore and was incorporated in 1846. As of the U.S. Census Bureau's July 1, 2019 estimate, Milwaukee had a population of 590,157, making it the 31st largest city in the United States and the fourth-largest city situated along one of the Great Lakes.
The first large wave of settlement to the areas that would later become Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee began in 1835, following removal of the tribes in the Council of Three Fires. Early that year it became known that Juneau and Kilbourn intended to lay out competing town-sites. By the year's end both had purchased their lands from the government and made their first sales. There were perhaps 100 new settlers in this year, mostly from New England and other Eastern states. On September 17, 1835, the first election was held in Milwaukee; the number of votes cast was 39.

On a side road off another side road, I saw this scene. I wasn't sure how to capture it or what to do with it. The morning light was a bit of inspiration, but the clouds diffused it to the point of slight shadows only.
I wanted a wide shot, and the widest I had was the 45mm. And I wanted something gritty, something dark to fit the mood. And Ilford FP4 (with a mind to developing it in Rodinal) came to mind.
I loaded and shot here for maybe thirty minutes.

Built in 1877 in the "Second Empire" style, the Chippewa County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. This architectural style, with a mansard roof and square-based tower was common in the 1800s.
John Scott, the architect, designed this building, giving it two-foot thick stones walls, and a tower that is fronted by a statue of "Justice".
Seen at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

“This broken country extends back from the river for many miles and has been called always be Indian, French voyager and American trappers alike, the Bad Lands.” -Theodore Roosevelt on the North Dakota badlands.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is split in two – the Southern Unit is directly accessible by the main highway (I-94), but the Northern Unit has to be accessed by an hour long drive along route 85. Restless and curious about the North Unit, we drove along 85 (passing those sunflower fields you’ve seen on earlier posts) in the mid-afternoon. Though the American recovery act had snarled the roads, we were richly rewarded with a park to ourselves. As the light grew long and the golden rays of sunset hit the Little Missouri, we had peanut butter sandwiches and I snapped this photograph of a tree clinging to the edge of the bad lands.
It has been more than a month since I received an email from the Morris County Historical Society. The email was worded so that if anything relating the structure to the Santa Fe Trail was discovered, I would be contacted. Since I haven't heard anything, I presume nothing was discovered.

Agriculture is the dominant land use in Clinton County, which is home to 75,000+ people, spread across 574 square miles (1,487 sq.. kilometers.) Most of the land is flat to gently rolling. A system of open public drains keeps fields from flooding during heavy rains. There are 625 such drains, totaling 1,100 miles long, (1,500 km.) The job of Drain Commissioner is a high profile position, and has been broadened to encompass watershed protection.
