It's harvest season and farm equipment is a frequent site on rural roads. This image was made at the grade crossing of Henry County Road 6 west of Deshler, Ohio, with the CSX Garrett Subdivision.

Crossing Mnisose

On the U.S. Bank Main Stage
Crossing Mnisose (“minne-show-she”) tells the story of one of America's first feminists, Sacajawea, and draws a line from a completely original view of Lewis and Clark to the present day, as descendants of the Dakota and Lakota Nations continue their fight for the Mnisose (or what Europeans named the “Missouri River”) and the lands that contain the burials of their ancestors. From celebrated playwright, activist, and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle (Cherokee Nation), whose Manahatta captivated audiences at Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

When car shopping a couple of years ago, I only considered cars where it was easy to cross from the driver's seat to the passenger's seat. I was specifically thinking of situations like this at the auto tour at my local refuge, where I saw a family of river otters to the right of the car and the best views were from the passenger seat.
Thankfully crossing over is easy to do in the Subaru Crosstrek we bought and I was able to watch the otters for quite a while as they groomed and played and ate. I was struck by how, even in the midst of vigorous play, the siblings would catch a fish when the opportunity presented itself and enjoy a quick snack before resuming play.
And then we were off, headed east along the Upper Peninsula toward the highway crossing at my genetic ancestral homeland at the Straits of Mackinac. There are two primary east-west routes across the Upper Peninsula, US Highway 2 on the peninsula's south side and Michigan State Highway 28 through the middle. Both roads involve a lot of straight lines despite all the swamps they pass through and are lightly traveled, so it's easy to pass slow pokes or be passed by speed demons. We took the middle route to the town of Seney, then cut down to the southern route along one of the dozen or so north-south cut-throughs.
Here, I'm standing at the intersection of one of the cut-throughs, looking north across the old railroad tracks toward the middle route. Those tracks are part of the line originally built in the 1850s by the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railroad. We didn't take this cut-through, as it wasn't paved. I just wanted to stop and see if I could get a good picture of the swamp. I got this instead.

An impressive looking bridge crossing the Vlaardingse Vaart, towards the small hamlet of Schipluiden in Zuid-Holland.
I like the way the bridge is in silhouette against the bright sky with the fortunate capture of the cyclist also.
