Father + Son Light Painting
We put a couple glow sticks in the front window and a Maglight with a red reflector over it in the side window.
I "painted" the front of the house and Brandon "painted" the back ruins with flashlights.
Rare catch. This car has a throwback paint scheme for the Wisconsin State Patrol that was used from the 1960s to the 1980s. Also rare to see is a Chevrolet Caprice for the State Patrol.

I shot this image while visiting my mom in Wisconsin USA about 1987 (give or take maybe 5 years) as a tranny with a Minolta. In 2000, as a test, I digitized the tranny with my 3mp Nikon 990 (my first digi-cam) for which I had a very cool attachment for shooting slides. That digitized image has been in my archives for 18 years.
A few days ago I was strolling through a folder with a few hundred of the old Nikon 990 images, looking at my kids when young, family dogs, vacations, my old house, lighting tests, textures and abstracts (not unlike what I'd shoot these days), etc.
When I saw that shot below in jjjohn's photostream, it instantly reminded me of my Wisconsin shot, and I got inspired to post it.
I didn't have time to go track down the tranny, so I opened the scan done by the Nikon 990. It was a measly 1600x1300 pixels. Fortunately, low-res life is pretty good these days. First I ran it through Topaz A.I Clear to improved the noise, then used the amazing Topaz A.I. Gigapixel to up the res by 400% to 6300x5200 pixels. A bit of retouching in Photoshop and it was ready to rock-n-roll!

EXPLORED!
Amtrak PX923 - a special move of Talgo equipment bound for Seattle - crosses the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin on March 30, 2018. This is the rear portion of the train - it was led by Amtrak locomotive 161.
The WC shield, a bit battered, and bruised, but still proudly proclaiming its heritage, catches some late afternoon sun in the Waterville Yard. The 50' Plate C boxcars, once a staple of the midwest, have recently migrated east towards Pan Am, carrying SNC reporting marks (this one is SNC 21043). They have reinforced floors, and have a higher load weight for paper than the scores of old Maine Central and Boston & Maine boxcars that used to fill this role.
Wisconsin & Southern train L355 passes a dairy farm as it climbs away from Juda, Wisconsin on the Monroe Subdivision on a very mild January 27, 2018.
Amtrak's Empire Builder rounds the curve near Richwood, Wisconsin on February 1, 2016. The eastbound is running on time on this balmy 39 degree day, ahead of tomorrow's snowy forecast.
This was captured on the farm that my mother had grown up on. When I took her back to visit her brother last year she wanted to revisit where she grew up & we ended up stopping at the house & the current owners were thrilled to talk with my mom. It was a thrill for her also, not really sure with her getting up in age if will make it back to the area.
WAMX 4182 leads Wisconsin & Southern train L469 over the Yahara River in Stoughton, Wisconsin on February 5, 2018.

While it may be a fun campsite, every time I walk by this tipi I think how incongruous it is in this location. Tipis were found on the Great Plains, not the Wisconsin woodlands. :-) At least the white canvas blends in with the snow.
Saturday was the day before yet another round of arctic air hit Wisconsin, so I decided to enjoy the sunshine's warmth and wander around Sheboygan's South Pier.
Wisconsin is a land of gently rolling hills, with no mountains most of the year. By mid-February the snow piles near parking lots take on mountainous proportions and temporarily change our topography.
This snow pile is at the edge of a public parking lot that is located next to our apartment complex. On the other side of the "mountain ridge" is our van and apartment , both obscured by the snow.
