Almost felt like going home as I’m only a few miles from Rochester, MN where Shari and I lived for several months. I recall I used to ride my bike back then east towards Wisconsin which is where I’ll be heading tomorrow. Today’s weather was pretty well perfect – not too hot but a somewhat humid as it was working up towards a huge thunderstorm that hit around 5;00 pm (after I was booked into my hotel). The bright sun I was facing as I headed east was blocked as the morning wore on by low hung clouds.
There were no photographs taken today. For one thing, I didn’t see anything worth shooting, and the lighting was flat. But basically, it’s hard to shoot landscapes of flat land – sorta need a foreground and a background and they are hard to find without a step ladder. Didn’t carry one of those things.
Saw an interesting school just as I left the I90 – it was built as 3 large domes joined by 2 tunnels. Haven’t been able to find background info on why that kind of design. Saw my first vineyard – called The Four Daughters Vineyard but haven’t found anyone in the town that offers wine to try – a fruit cider, yes – but no wine.
Trying to find a hotel that is close to the ferry terminal in Milwaukee because the ferry leaves at 6;00 am and starts boarding an hour before that.. Difficult to do that kind of search, at least on a phone but I have a hotel booked nonetheless.
