I thought I’d take a break fro the Zoo/Conservatory photos for today and post a “Compare & Contrast” sunset landscape. This might be one of the few times where I could be leaning towards the color version of this shot … but only by a smidgen.

Sunset at Spring Bluff Forest Preserve in Winthrop Harbor IL.

Oh, my … what a great show last night. I had the privilege of shooting Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash and Grand Disaster. I had almost forgotten just how good BSOJC are, having not seen them for quite a long time … last time being 2002, if memory serves, and young turks Grand Disaster have certainly developed into a wonderful band themselves, so if you haven’t had the chance yet, do get out and see one or both of these fine acts soon. Two top notch bands, fer sure. Photos of the show to follow soon, so stay tuned!

Over the river they beckon to me
They came and took me by the hand
As a naked man I go
While I listen, discreetly numb
This is the song of youth

Once again, Spring Bluff Forest Preserve, Winthrop Harbor, Illinois.

I’m putting the finishing touches on the photos from the Grand Disaster/Barkeeps show this past weekend. They should be ready in a day or two, so stay tuned!
