Steps down to the Cliff House at "The Clearing"
This year is the 75 year of "The Clearing" a Folk School for Adults learning the tradition of "Hands On" in Ellison Bay in Door County Wisconsin. The above photo was taken last June. I tried to capture the rock steps down to the Cliff House and the total setting of the entrance. The back wall and floor are solid rock. Jens Jensen used this to get away and commune with nature. Summer guest can plan a night in the facility. It has a large fireplace for heat and a beautiful view of Green Bay out the window.

Twlight on Michigan Ave. - Chicago
In a twilight period of 30 minutes last night I was able to get a few HDR photos. The top is Water Tower and the bottom was 4th Presby Church before twilight. Both are 7 shot HDR (High Dynamic Range) Images. The Water Tower shows the beautiful blue sky right after sunset.
