After spending time shooting the eagles the other day we rode further north to Galena, Illinois. The area is filled with Historic Houses we hope to go back next fall and try to capture its beauty more then. Along the way we also saw some critters, here is a Horse with his shaggy winter coat, and some wonderful farms. The downtown shopping area is filled with interesting architecture.


 
  • Sounds like you had a great day! I love old buildings! Historic is beautiful! Horse is a cutie! Really like the barn with that old wagon in front! Last works well in B/W. Great set.

    Okay. Those pictures actually make me want to move. I grew up in a rural area with horses and old barns and buildings. I miss that! Thank you for taking me back to smell the horses and the hay fields. It's always nice to go back.

    - Enjoy the journey....

    the old house is so neat...probably haunted by the yellow heron.

  • You have some cool things to shoot back there. I was born in Rockford but left there when I was 9 (back in 1960) and have never been back.
