My Iowa Commute

In another thread I posted a picture of Tiny Town. Here are two more.

Tiny Town was built in 1915, and recently restored. In addition to the railroad, there's a mining building (I think that that's what that red building on the hill in the upper center of the first picture is), a church, and lots of other buildings.

Ah, HLJ, you get so many great shots of stuff that is so familiar to me. It helps me appreciate where I live! Yes, it is true, you can get use to mountains. In fact, I am so use to them now, that driving through Kansas through storms was truly frightening for me. Somehow the mountains are protective. In Kansas the sky is so big and I am so small.

When I was taking the pictures I thought, "Case will be able to figure out where most of these were taken." I hope to add the return trip (different route - including Dinosaur Ridge, Red Rocks, Mt. Falcon, etc.) later.

P.S. I'm trying to include a mix of blue sky and intimate landscapes. So far, the pictures are more documentation than art.

I think they become art through their use as documentation.
