This barn and silos sit on the campus of Concordia University – Ann Arbor, MI. The silos have long sat empty while the barn has been converted into storage and the maintenance department’s shop.

Bumble Bug
As I walked through the salvage yard this beauty caught my eye. I walked around it several times takng this photo and hoping maybe, just maybe, that before I walked away the real Bumble Bee might transform. But alas, it would seem the Decepticons have truly one the war.

Unknown
As we set our faces toward the future the venture often appears hopeful. The steps immediately before us glow invitingly as the bridge extends from the humdrum of the present to the excitement of the future and the unknown. Unknown. A thick wall of uncertainty awaits the traveler just beyond the handrails of possibility. The once clearly illumined path dissipates into shades of gray and black, the light veiled by the foliage of life, that which is unexpected, that which unknown. And yet, each day, we all cross the bridge.

Canyonlands
The beauty of God’s artistry is breathtaking! Back in 2006, on the day that I captured this image, the relatively fixed sculpture of Utah’s Canyonlands National Park was masterfully accented by the momentariness of the clouds. Of course, as we all know, a cheap repop of the actual artwork never lives up to the original. My apologies.

Cousin Eddie
This past Fourth of July I had the pleasure of making camp in the driveway of the family cabin. It’s great to be able to visit family and friends and to not have to worry about crowding their living space, even if I feel a little bit like cousin Eddie every time I pull the parking break.

Bel Air
Hands down one of the coolest automobiles ever built.

Snuffed
In Idaho’s Craters of the Moon National Monument “we rode through country that looked like hell with the fires out.”
A great line from Louis L’Amour’s mouthpiece in The Daybreakers, Tyrel Sackett.

Little Mechanic of God
“He was such a wonder, Gay was – the little mechanic of God, the St. Francis of all things that turn and twist and explode, the St. Francis of coils and armatures and gears. And if at some time all the heaps of jalopies, cut-down Dusenbergs, Buicks, De Sotos and Plymouths, American Austins and Isotta Fraschinis praise God in a great chorus – it will be largely due to Gay and his brotherhood.”
— John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
