This is what rural Iowa looks like these days.

If you have a chance look at the rock picture below this one. I posted
the link awhile ago and no one noticed. If it is too bad to comment on
I need to know.

The first image is very strong and well executed. I drove from
Kalamazoo, MI to my mother's house in Waterloo, IA, last Friday to
retrieve the final car load of her personal effects before the house
sale closes, and I wish I had gotten a shot as nice as the one you have
there. It very much represents the landscapes that I drove through.
I had hoped have some fun on a trip of necessity, and I packed a light
photo kit to take with me and planned to see the sights in Iowa City.
But... I got a nasty cold the day before the drive, and never took a
single photo, never got to Porters Cameras, and never hit the Iowa City
Brew pubs. I just took sudfed, drank red bull, blew through two boxes of
Kleenex and listened to the Ramones and Car Talk on the Ipod. Drove 12
hours Friday and 7 hours Saturday (thanks to a Michigan snow storm that
day.) Ate dinner Friday in the food court at the Iowa 80 World's
Largest Truck Stop - the highlight of the trip.
Sheese... Well, your photo makes me realize that one *can* get good
photos in the bleak Midwest, and for that I am grateful.
