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 finally got away to the northwoods of Wisconsin, the Michigan Upper Peninsula, and even the North Shore of Minnesota for a few days this fall! I was really hoping to catch peak color this year, but as I was driving up there was a big wind- and thunder-storm that blew down a lot of…
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!)…
It’s starting to look like I might not get in a whole lot of winter shooting this time around – temps have been well above freezing most of the time, and there’s far more brown grass than snow to be seen. In the spirit of making the most of what I’ve got, here are some…
I’m one of 11 artists who will be displaying work at “The Wonder of Light” juried photography exhibit at The Beloit Fine Arts Incubator (http://beloitfineartsincubator.com/) from May 7 – 28, 2010.

… and not just because my blog is the August Featured Photography Blog on it! Photomontana.net is just one of pj finn’s (yes, that’s how he writes it) excellent and worthwhile sites where he posts beautiful photography and holds forth on a variety of topics. Photography, philosophical ruminations, world events, and life as it happens…
I came across this scene just outside Ashland, WI on a stormy May afternoon in 2008. I loved the charged atmosphere and vibrant storm-weather colors, and did my best to capture it in this image. As usual, I provide the wallpaper in two image sizes, 1280 x 1024 and 1440 x 900. To set an…
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! 🙂
