East bound... (Amish Farms)
This set is down Iowa county road C57 from Janesville to just outside of Hazleton. I like this stretch for the many older farms and the last 4 miles or so of Amish farms along the road.
We did detour into Fairbank Iowa to stock up on some top quality (award winning) meats from the Fairbank Locker. If your ever in the area please stop by. All quality meats and see the wall full of the awards thier Jerky, Beef sticks, summer sausages, and many other products have won
Also note that this is the first set with all new presets for Luminance HDR and Darktable. I thought it was time to change things up a bit. If you think the old ones were better let me know.

Roger Puta took several photos of this beautiful car on a fan weekend (August 12 and 13, 1967) on the Iowa Terminal Railroad (IATR). Here are 6. The car is ex-Waterloo, Cedar Falls and Northern Railway.
The sad part of this is that #100 was destroyed in a carbarn fire in November 1967.

One of the hundreds of wind turbines around Blairsburg, Iowa up against a star filled sky. The light writing in the foreground was done by my nephew Grant Songer with a small red light. The dotted trail across the right side is a plane traveling overhead. It was taken this weekend when my son, my nephew and I visited the Greufe farm in Blairsburg. Kids loved having the chance to walk right up next to them for a close look. They were amazed at how tall - and how quiet they are. Thank you to Randy and Sandra Greufe for letting us stop in!

Post Office
401 Main Street
Iowa Falls, Iowa
The Iowa Falls Post Office is a Neoclassical building, built under the administration of William McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, with Oscar Wendroth, supervising architect. The style was influenced by the architecture of the 1893 Colombian Exposition in Chicago and was considered to be most appropriate for public buildings. The high stone foundation, broad entrance stairs, and pediments portico are all important elements of the style. While federal buildings in larger towns were often constructed of stone, those in smaller communities utilized brick. Neo-Classical in design, it is constructed of dark red brick laid in English cross-bond, creating an interesting pattern. The building rests on a high foundation of North Carolina granite. The symmetrical facade features a pediment portico with four monumental Doric columns 30" in diameter and 22' high. Three tall round arched openings are located at the back of the portico. The main entrance is in the middle. Above the entrance is a beautiful Della Robia type swag. The interior of the building has retained a high level of integrity. The 13' x 35' lobby retains its white oak woodwork, marble-terrazo floor and vaulted ceiling. The round arched openings of the exterior are continued on the interior with multi-pane windows allowing light to pass from one space to another. One landscaping element is of note. The U.S. Government purchased the land from Abigail Estes Foster in 1909. Abigail had planted peonies in the south lawn, which are still there today.

A very long day on the road found me nearly to Minnesota. At least the sky put on a good show and a good night to all. Shot near Epworth, Iowa on US 20.

nrhp # 91001462- Immanuel Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church is a historic church on W. Second Street in Kimballton, in Audubon County, Iowa. It was built in 1904 and was added to the National Register in 1991.[1] Four years later it was included as a contributing property in the Kimballton West 2nd – West 3rd Street Residential District.
Located on a hill overlooking the east side of Kimballton, it is among the best-preserved historic Danish churches in Audubon and adjacent Shelby counties. It was deemed significant "for its association with the Grundtvigian synod of the Danish Lutheran Church following the historic split within the church in 1894 and for its influence upon the growth and development of the Danish community of Kimballton. Furthermore, this property is the best representation of that historic synod in the Kimballton community and the two county area." In the worldwide split of the Danish church, this is the main local church that followed the teachings of Bishop N. F. S. Grundtvig and is the only surviving "Grundtvigian" one.
A Christ-like statue on the altar is a copy of the one in Vor Frue Kirke in Copenhagen, Denmark, sculpted by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.
The church was designed and built by two craftsmen from West Denmark, Wisconsin, Niels Hansen and Jens Rasmussen, who had built a Grundtvigian church there (which burned in the 1930s, though historic photographs survive). They were brought to Kimballton by the pastor Jens Gregersen, who had come from West Denmark. Hansen drew plans for the church similar to the design of the West Denmark church, and Rasmussen created interior features such as the pulpit, the altar, and the communion railing.
The 1898-built Bethany Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, a mile or two away from Kimballton, also NRHP-listed, is a church that was on the other side of the split.

Iowa Falls, Iowa
The Mills Tower Historic District encompasses the eastern portion of the Illinois Central railroad yard, on the eastern edge of Iowa Falls. The small district consists of six structures, only three of which are contributing and still standing, which date to the last two periods of Iowa railroad history. Most alterations to the district have been to Mills Tower, the oldest of the group.
Mills Tower is a good example of the second generation utilitarian support structures the Illinois Central built between the 1880s and 1930s to control traffic along their lines. Mills Tower is the only interlocking tower left in Iowa, out of nearly seventy in operation at various times and places.
Mills Tower probably replaced the original Iowa Falls junction in 1909, when the IC-RI built a new river crossing and the new line made the older junction obsolete. The actual date of construction is unknown. Unlike the first tower, which "was doubtless of the 'Armstrong' variety"(having manually operated levers) Mills Tower employed electrically-operated levers. Mills governed the switches in the IC yard west of the tower as well as the older Rock Island (BCRN) crossing with the IC. In 1985 The Chicago Central & Pacific Railroad (CCP) purchased the IC and its employees refer to the tower as a "relic" and a "fossil."
The first floor was once used for offices and the second floor is the control room, as its many windows attest. The key feature of the tower has always been the original electric control board sitting in the middle of the room. A large train order signal stands right next to the building, on the north side. Next to the tracks and just west of the crossing diamond is a smaller metal pole with two slender metal hoops. Train orders for the next segment of track were tied loosely to the hoops so the engineer could grasp the papers with his hand while the train slowed for the crossing.

Democracy will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I'm dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.
Freedom
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too.
I want freedom
Just as you.
Democracy
