Here’s another shot from my trip to the Wisconsin Northwoods earlier this month… There was a lovely fog that morning, but it burned off entirely too quickly – there were more locations and compositions I wanted to shoot, but I ran out of fog and time!

(I’m consolidating my photography sites, so I’ll be posting a few posts from other sites here in preparation for shutting them down…) The Mindful Photographer: f/8 and Be Here Now
I went to Big Hill Park here in Beloit, Wisconsin, tonight to see how the fall color change is progressing. We’re not at peak yet, but there are patches of nice color to be found. There are also trees full of dried brown leaves and even bare trees to be found, so I’m hoping the…
Just a reminder – Beloit’s annual Holidazzle event is Friday, December 10, from 5:00-9:00 PM. As always, I’ll be at The Villager, located at 429 East Grand in downtown Beloit. If you’re in the area, stop in & say Hi! Here’s what visitbeloit.com has to say about the event: “A dazzling evening of celebration, featuring…
Here’s the first image I’ve processed from a quick shoot the other day. We had some great fog in the morning, so I stopped by the same park where I took this shot almost a year ago. I found a few compositions that struck me, so more to come in the near(ish) future… – Jack
Happy New Year, everyone! Here are a few more winter images to wrap up 2009 and ring in 2010. These were taken the day after Christmas 2009 at Rock Cut State Park in Rockford, IL. We had a beautiful soft snowfall that day – you can’t clearly see the snowflakes in most of these, but…
I finally visited Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area near Lodi, WI over the weekend. It’s been on my list for a long time, but somehow I just never got around to getting there. I’m glad I finally made it! Gibraltar Rock is 1234 feet above sea level, with 200′ cliffs. (Yeah, watch that first step!)…
Very nice Jack. It reminds me of the area I lived in back in Minnesota before I moved west. It triggers some pleasant memories.
Thanks, pj. I really miss this sort of scene when I’m away from the northwoods…
I love this type of stuff Jack. Great examples of the textures and warm brown tones that exist after the “in your face” color has passed.
btw, I can’t really see the text in your reply to PJ above, seems to be white text on a light blue background. Probably a CSS tweak in your new theme?
Thanks, Mark, and thanks for pointing out the css issue… hopefully it’s a bit easier to read now! 🙂

Nice blog and wonderful photography. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Jack, I am just Loving what I have seen so far, your images are amazing on how I experience a closer connection to nature. They remind me of our Central Ontario area of The Muskokas and Algonquin Park, my ancestral home and family lineage. As fourth generation Algonquin I am always drawn to images of the wilderness and the spiritual draw on my soul. I hope you take a peak at my collection of some of my most precious gems in nature that I enjoy so much. They are all my favorite ” Sit Spots”
Thanks, Steven, and thanks for visiting – come back anytime! 🙂
