This collection is designed to showcase the midwest part of the united states as it sometimes is in winter. I have no desire to gloss over what is a part of life. In fact, I would rather celebrate it. There is a bit a pride that goes along with these images. To those who stay on and plow it back in I salute you!!
For best results put on any number of artists like Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska album, Uncle Tupelo (see March 16-20 1992 album in particular), Whiskeytown or perhaps eastmountainsouth....really just about anything in the minor key should do, then click the slideshow button. Results may vary.
Yeah, that's stark all right. I rode through here on a motorbike once - not during Winter - and actually found the landscape quite interesting. Then again, I'm from Australia, where sometimes there really is f--- all to see.
I enjoyed my visit to your Stark gallery of Middle Americana. The empty, lonely scenes are attractive to me. Your right, put on a good ol' cd from "The Boss" and enjoy the trip down the country roads.
Solitude: a sweet absence of looks.
Cheers!
