This is from near Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The Parks Serivce has purchased some old farms in the area to preserve them. The buildings are being restored, but there aren't any crops in the fields, just grass. They are full of Meadolarks.

Wow! Great shot, Scott!

SBD is one of my favorite places to go, including the Heritage Farms. Using B/W or infrared film is a great way to capture the farms themselves, by the way. The hills behind the farms are spectacular in the fall, so be sure to go back at that time.

Very nice Scott. I love the angle of the light and how it makes the chest glow.
