A black and white tree, bare, with branches cracking the sky.

A bare tree in the old Hecla Cemetery in Laurium. The cemetery has long been abandoned, and this tree stands stark against the sky with old graves beneath it. Sarah and I made it there while geocaching, looking for a cache located under an old tree. Turns out we had the wrong coordinates, but we found this excellent tree instead!

A huge old tree between two modern buildings.

A huge old tree on the Michigan Tech campus. It's referred to by many as the "Big Oak", except that... it's not an oak! I'm not actually sure what it is. Whatever it is, it's the only tree for miles which still has leaves.

Sha-zing!

A puddle of water, in an old trench at the Toltec Mine. The Toltec was a bit of a flash in the pan -- it went all-out for a few years, and then just dried up. Its remains are primarily shafts, pits, and trenches left scarring the landscape.

A reflection of sky in several puddles, on an old railroad.

From day 300 (wow! only 65 more to go) -- a hammer, sickle, and leaf?

I took this shot on (surprise!) a basketball court, just outside where Sarah lives. It was a wet day, but the textures and shapes showed up well.

Here, from my own house -- textures and cracks on a window frame.
