I met Tom Robbins (very) early Friday morning for some shooting at Nachusa Grasslands and Franklin Creek State Natural Area (both in NW Illinois). I've shot at Nachusa several times before, but always in the heart of the summer when the prairie wildflowers are in full bloom. It was quite different looking in mid-September, but we managed to find some compelling subject matter.

Very nice comp, Kerry...I really like the feeling of solitude and isolation in this image.

Very pleasing composition Kerry. Speaking of composing a photo, here you are in action that morning at the grasslands - http://www.pbase.com/image/128702022
Tom, thanks for the URL. I've taken the liberty of producing a direct link here so anyone who wants to take a look doesn't have to cut and paste.
Just to relate the linked image with the one I posted at the head of this thread, I'm standing in a spot past--and a bit to the right of--the barn, looking in more or less the same direction.
