Over the past few weeks I've done some late-summer/early fall photography in west-central Illinois. I've had to drive home to Kewanee, IL a few times in the past few weeks which meant I found some time to do some photography during my travels. I live only a short 30 minutes from my hometown of Kewanee, IL and along the short drive home Mother Nature usually provides some decent photography in rural-Stark County, IL. Most of the photos in this post were in rural-Stark County, IL and at my parent's house as well. Summer has ended as we have now changed seasons' as the autumnal equinox passed last Friday (September 23). It's all downhill from here so enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. I'm sure we will have plenty of snowstorms to dig out of in the coming months. Many of my photos I shot during my travels I've added below:
harvest this year for those interested...
shutdown for the year...
We haven't had our first frost in the local area
yet so scenes like this can still be
found in west-central Illinois...
kind of makes you think of Boston Harbor...
