Many of these Crop Duster planes are Mono Wings. I happened across this Bi-plane on my daily travels and stopped for a look.
This particular shot struck me with it's contrast of the sharp, yellow lines of the plane against the soft, billowy clouds in the background.
This car belongs to a good friend of mine. This Space Duster is loaded with pretty much every option including sunroof and a/c even though it's only 318 powered. This car was sold new thru Chrysler Military Sales in Germany of all places! As far as I know, this is the first time it's been stateside.
With I57 in the background and with the Illiana Tollway/Airport projecting looming this will be a thing of the past in the future. That over pass in the background is the old Milwaukee Road branch from Momence to Joliet.
Common name is Baja Fairy Duster (Calliandra californica). This flowering shrub is in our front yard and has numerous flowers. It attracts birds, hummingbirds and butterflies... and bees.
