6/19 - Day 16

Camping a la Lancaster, Wisconsin.
View from campground office overlooking lake.  Klondyke Secluded Acres.
Rolling rural.
Agrestic composition.
Wisconsin River.  One of two overpasses for the day's route.
You guessed it!  The second of the day's rivers was none other than the Mississippi!  I am officially across the 'River' now and into Iowa.  What a massive body of water it is.  Makes me think of pioneer days of fording rivers (and Oregon Trail), what valor!
Red-winged blackbird.  More to come on this ubiquitous companion of mine.
Water tower.  Monona, Iowa.
Meier Home.  The crafted entry using vernacular porch/deck.  Notice the 'wrapping window (just a cut-out in the roof), and how deck returns on far side to gently signal the turn to front door.
Covered walkway between garage and front/side entry.  View of privacy screen wall and dark trimwork.

Window detail 2.

Front entry 'composition'.  The convergence of line, material (and thus color) suggest stained glass patterns of many FLW windows.
Gateway Park campground overlooking farmlands of Iowa.
Sunset over farmlands.
