Saturday we took rural roads to do a bit of "leaf peeping" (looking at autumn colors). All of the photos were taken while driving because our COVID-19 numbers are one of the highest in our nation. It's fortunate that Lori enjoys driving rural roads and has patience with my photography-from -a moving-car attempts.

Built in 1900 and expanded in 1908, this Beaux Arts-style flatiron building was designed by Gordon and Paunack to house the Commercial National Bank, and is known as the Wisconsin Building. The building is flatiron-shaped with a curved corner, and features stone cladding on the first floor at the corner and along the State Street facade, with stone cladding featuring fluted doric engaged columns on the first floor, large storefront windows and entrances, a prominent corner entrance with a decorative metal grille above, a cornice at the top of the first floor stone cladding with the words “Commercial Bank” and “Bank” emblazoned on the architrave. Above the first floor and along Carroll Street, the building is clad in red brick with one-over-one windows and decorative brick trim and stone lintels, with curved tripartite windows on the curved corner separated by fluted pilasters, a metal fire escape mounted on the Carroll Street facade, an entrance on Carroll Street surrounded by stone trim with the words “Office Entrance” engraved into the header, and a cornice with dentils at the top of the fourth floor, at the base of the parapet that encloses the building’s low-slope roof.

It's the time of year when the weather is mild in between storms.As a result, I've taken lakeside walks around Sheboygan's South Pier district during the last couple of days. The ice on Lake Michigan is still present and the piles of snow still towering. Spring WILL come, someday.
I took a lot of shots of the Wisconsin, and looking back I appreciate the different views and angles.
I hope to visit one of its sister ships, New Jersey, at some point in the future.
Here's another scene I never tired of, every season of the year. We have since moved, but I think I would move back there in a minute, if given the chance! Such a beautiful state, and so peaceful. Gotta love country living! Hope you enjoy!

The Dells of the Wisconsin River, also called the Wisconsin Dells (from French dalles, or narrows), is a 5-mile (8-km) gorge on the Wisconsin River in south-central Wisconsin, USA. It is noted for its scenic beauty, in particular for its unique Cambrian sandstone rock formations and tributary canyons.
The cliffs, some over 100 feet (30 m) high, and side canyons are closed to the public to protect sensitive ecological features. The viewing of the rock formations by water is a popular tourist attraction in the area. The nearby city of Wisconsin Dells is the center of summer tourist activity, much of it in the form of the theme parks unrelated to the river features.
The Dells was formed during the last ice age approximately 15,000 years ago, although the rock itself is much older, dating from the Cambrian approximately 510-520 million years ago when the area of Wisconsin was at the bottom of a shallow sea.
Approximately 19,000 years ago, the Dells was at the extreme eastern margin of the continental glacier. However, the Dells itself was never covered by glacial ice sheets - it was part of the large Driftless Area that was bypassed by the ice. The melting of the glacier formed Glacial Lake Wisconsin, a lake about the size of Great Salt Lake in Utah and as deep as 150 feet (45 m). The lake was held back by an ice dam of the remaining glacier. The eventual bursting of the ice dam unleashed a catastrophic flood, dropping the lake's depth to 50 feet (15 m) and cutting deep, narrow gorges and unusual rock formations into the sandstone seen today.

I don't remember how or why, but I recall being in Adams, WI before sunrise. When this potash unit train departed eastbound, we gave chase and set up near Glen Oak, WI for the shot. C44-9W #8635 is in the lead splitting the signals in September of 1994.
I decided to take a little break before posting more photos of the southwest.
Yesterday, I spent a good part of the day inside my garage sorting out things for our move. After finishing up that project, I decided to venture out in the sun and blue skies in the direction of Black River Marsh. It was good to get out in nature, away from dust, dimness, and possessions. This trio of photos captured some of the feathered friends that I encountered.
I saw this redwing blackbird on the cattail in the distance and decided to give the shot a try.
