My husband and I went on a couple fall color drives when we got back from New England. In locating my photos on the map, I found a few of the shots, where they were taken, but I couldn't find this one. I'll have to go back later and see if I can find it.
Edit: According to the order of my pics, this should be somewhere north of Wilton, Wisconsin. Originally, I was looking for a side road, but I think now it was the actual road I was on! ha! How funny! This is actually located up in the hills, north of Wilton. It's an old country road (called Kettle Road), that climbs its way up to one of the main roads on the ridge, so it doesn't have any painted lines down the middle, nor is it very wide.

Because of a derailment on CPKC's Watertown Subdivision, Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder detoured on BNSF's Aurora Subdivision east of LaCrosse, Wisconsin on July 5, 2023. Here's the train wheeling along the Mississippi River approaching Lock & Dam #9 near Lynxville, Wisconsin.
In response to a B&W photo challenge on Facebook by Eric Dugan [www.flickr.com/photos/ericdugan/] and Jay Huang[www.flickr.com/photos/50663863@N02/] I converted the Door County road shot to monochrome and played with the contrasts. Any thoughts on this vs. the color version? Very different effects.
A couple of more posts from Wisconsin. The colors are finally creeping down here as well. I'll have some local shots up soon.
I had just gotten my seniority date on the Soo Line and we also had just become citizens of Wisconsin. To celebrate (?) this occasion, we went out and shot our first Wisconsin train, right in our new home town of West Bend, actually just a little north of town. The Northwestern still owned the line from Milwaukee to Green Bay that ran through here, the Valley line, but ownership would soon be turned over to the Fox River Valley. It's July 7, 1988, and a Northwestern crew is busy gathering up all the stored box cars in BR siding and then head south. We were on our way north so I didn't chase this guy, much to my displeasure. Seeing a couple of old CNW geeps pulling a long string of pure Northwestern box cars would have been neat. But the FRVR would make up for that, becoming one of my favorite railroads to shoot.

Friday we visited the Sheboygan Marsh. I climbed the observation tower with its 144 steps to view the panorama.
Built in phases between 1911 and 1959, this Prairie and Organic Modern-style house and office were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as his family residence and studio, with two fires leading to substantial reconstruction of the house in 1914 and 1925. The house, which is named “Taliesin”, Welsh for “Shining Brow” or “Radiant Brow”, referring to the hill upon which it is situated, is a long and rambling structure with multiple sections built at different times, with the building serving as a living laboratory for Wright’s organic design philosophy, as well as growing with Wright’s family, wealth, and business. The house sits on a hill surrounded by fields, but is notably located below the top of the hill, which Wright saw as being such a significant feature of the landscape that it should remain untouched by the house’s presence. The house’s westernmost wings served as the home of livestock and farm equipment, as well as a garage, later becoming housing for the Taliesin Fellowship, where aspiring architects apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright. The central wing served as the Frank Lloyd Wright studio, where Wright and his apprentices and employees worked on projects for clients, as well as where Wright often met with clients. The eastern wing served as the Wright family’s residence, and was rebuilt twice, in 1914 and 1925, after being destroyed by fire, and is overall the newest section of the complex, though some portions of the west and central wings were added after the main phase of construction of the residence was complete.
The house is clad in stucco with a wooden shingle hipped and gabled roof, with stone cladding at the base and on piers that often flank window openings, large casement windows, clerestory windows, outdoor terraces and balconies, stone chimneys, and glass french doors, all of which connect the interior of the building to the surrounding landscape. The interior of the buildings feature vaulted ceilings in common areas, stone floors, stone and plaster walls, decorative woodwork, custom-built furniture, and multiple decorative objects collected by Wright during his life. The exterior of the house has a few areas distinctive from the rest of the structure, with a cantilevered balcony extending off the east facade drawing the eye towards the surrounding landscape from the living room of the residence, next to a large set of glass doors that enclose the living room and adjacent bedroom from a shallower cantilevered terrace, while to the west of the residence, and south of the central wing, is a landscaped garden, which rests just below the crest of the hill.
The building was the full-time home of Wright from 1911 until 1937, when Wright began to spend his winters at Taliesin West in Phoenix, Arizona, due to the effects of the Wisconsin winters on his health. For the rest of Wright’s life, the house was the summer home of Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship, and following his death, the house was deeded to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which operated and maintained the house as a museum and the home of multiple programs until 1990. Since 1990, the house has been under the stewardship of the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Inc., which operates the house in conjunction with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The building is a contributing structure in the Taliesin Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Taliesin was one of eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings listed as The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. Today, Taliesin is utilized as a museum, offering tours and interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and work.
Yesterday Lori and I took a drive north of Two Rivers, Wisconsin to check out foliage and hike the hills and swales. It was a perfect Fall outing.
Wisconsin & Southern's L469 crew has a train of 24 grain cars bound for the Prairie Subdivision as it curves between some apartment buildings in downtown Madison, Wisconsin on November 22, 2024.
Three WAMX SD40-2s lead Wisconsin & Southern train L863 along Lake Wisconsin on WSOR's Reedsburg Subdivision on March 30, 2018. The train has just crossed the Wisconsin River bridge seen in the distance above the train.
These are all in Wisconsin.

Pewit’s Nest, Sauk County, Wisconsin. 17-10-2017.
I drove over 1.5 hours to reach this location before sunrise. Once the sun is up, its light hits the distant trees and the contrast becomes unmanageable.
This little gorge, created by retreating glaciers, has long suffered from graffiti and trash. Collecting beer bottles, coke cans and even a sock or two were routine activities on my visits. Several people have also injured themselves while climbing the walls or jumping into the water, all prohibited for a good reason. I believe access to the area in the photo is now restricted.
