This is an image I shot on my way to the recent Tom Mangelsen Artist Reception at his Images of Nature Gallery in Galena, IL. Stopping to shoot made me miss the first hour of the reception, but I figured stopping to make some photographs was a pretty good reason to be late, and they…
This is a scene from Big Hill Park here in Beloit, taken on the beautifully foggy morning of May 29, 2011. As usual, I provide the wallpaper in two image sizes, 1280 x 1024 and 1440 x 900. To set an image as your desktop wallpaper, just right-click (PC) / control-click (Mac) on one of…
