Biking the country roads of Wisconsin is one of the best ways to enjoy the fall colours, but I can live with driving in a car at the low speeds, especially given the ability to capture moments like these :)

The sound of of all six notched out, keeping their train of 145 + loads to track speed, is something else entirely.

I've passed this old house a bunch of times meaning to shoot it one day. With a scrim of snow on the ground and a new camera in hand, that day came.
2023 - it is gone now - razed and bulldozed.

Southern Wisconsin doesn't have many waterfalls, nor many clear-running streams, so this place is a treat. Though I might have wished a little more interest in the foreground - I still like this image.
I struggled with my tripod this day. It worked fine with my D5200, but the D750 with lens was just a bit too much mass to fully trust it.

Here's the Wisconsin capitol. I'm sure there was some fancy setting I could have put my camera on to improve the image. However, we came stumbling out of a pub immediately preceding this shot, so I'm not convinced I could have intuited the right bells & whistles. I still kind of dig it, though. Snowfall is always cool. Except when it's a blizzard. And when the polar bears are stalking you.

Built in 1956-1957, this Organic Modern building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as a public Elementary School for the town of Wyoming, Wisconsin, a rural community located south of Taliesin in Iowa County, which voted to consolidate its one-room schools in 1956. The building features a cement block exterior, a low-pitch hipped roof with wide overhanging eaves, a roughly hexagonal footprint, clerestory windows and large ribbon windows, recessed entrances, a central chimney, and contains two classrooms, a multi-purpose room, a kitchen, a teacher’s lounge, and two restrooms, with a small basement containing a utility room. The building served as an elementary school for the Wyoming community until 1990, when it closed due to declining enrollment. The building sat vacant until 2011, when it was reopened as an arts and community center. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Today, the building is the only realized public school designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and serves as the Wyoming Valley School Cultural Arts Center.
USS Wisconsin (BB-64), "Wisky" or "WisKy", is an Iowa-class battleship, the second ship of the United States Navy to be named in honor of the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It was built at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and launched on 7 December 1943 (the second anniversary of the Pearl Harbor raid), sponsored by the wife of Governor Walter Goodland of Wisconsin
During the ship's career, Wisconsin served in the Pacific Theater of World War II, where it shelled Japanese fortifications and screened United States aircraft carriers as they conducted air raids against enemy positions. During the Korean War, Wisconsin shelled North Korean targets in support of United Nations and South Korean ground operations, after which it was decommissioned. The ship was reactivated 1 August 1986, modernised and participated in Operation Desert Storm in January and February 1991.
It currently functions as a museum ship operated by Nauticus, The National Maritime Center in Norfolk, Virginia.(Wikipedia)
