That's a nice setup.
The majority of my photos are taken in small towns in eastern Missouri and southwest Illinois.

A small water intake tower rises above the shoreline of the Kaskaskia River at Evansville, Illinois. Access is via a steel ladder to a raised concrete deck that encircles the tower. There is one door and one window at the top of the tower

This was shot with a Nikon Z6ii camera and an Nikkor 80-400mm f4.5/5.6 lens with FTZ adapter. Most of the time I shoot with the Nikkor Z 24-120mm F2 lens.

A view from the Illinois side of the Chester Bridge which is a steel truss bridge built in the 1940s that includes 2 660' long center spans. Adjacent to the old bridge you see two new bridge towers being constructed, one with a tower crane in position between the tower legs. A third tower is located beyond these two at the Missouri side of the river that can't be seen due to the truss of the old bridge.

Sorry, but didn't wander through that area on this trip. Maybe next time. But here's a photo from the past.

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoy them.
