Lonely Outhouse

How's this for privacy?

Classic Home Style

The Knowles Doane House, in Eastham, Cape Cod, is a classic home style. Built in 1765, the design of this small 1-1/2 story house can be found in older neighborhoods of nearly every city and town in America.

P-Town Wall Art

Province Town, Cape Cod. Crazy place, and a lot of fun.

True Cape Cod

Scene at the entrance of the Knowles Doane House, c. 1765. A fixture in the town of Eastham, Cape Cod, the small home is the essence of Cape Cod architecture. I'll follow tomorrow with a view of the whole house.

Storm Over Woodbury

It's coming!

Cape Cod Lobster

'I know it's supposed to be yummy... but it's kinda scary... and do they really think I can eat that much?'

Minnesota State Capitol

Classic Cleaner

Much of the Selby & Dale area of St. Paul has been redeveloped recently, but this cleaner is stuck in the 50's. I like it. Let's hope it stays like it is.

Duluth Harbor Lighthouse

Minnesota is in the middle of North America, about as far from an ocean as you can get. But in Duluth, you'd think you were on the coast. Lake Superior stretches as far as the eye can see.

Minneapolis

More Wall Art

You're never far from the train tracks in Pepin. If you're anywhere near the water, the rumble and the noise is a regular presence. But unlike a train in the city, here it's almost romantic. The long whistle adds to the charm of the harbor and the shops and restaurants.

Mermaid in Pepin

There is a bed & breakfast in Pepin, WI, called A Summer Place whose gift shop displays some great wall art. This image is from the south wall - the 'mermaid' wall.

Pay Phone?

As strange as it is, a pay phone on the wall is an odd site these days. Cell phones have only been in the mainstream for 10-15 years, and already a pay phone seems like ancient history. Technology moves fast.

Road Trip

Nothing like a summer drive through rolling hills.

Railway Post Office

In Ladysmith, WI, you can see how mail was delivered a century ago, along with a restored cabooze and train station.

Ridgeland Coop

Not sure exactly why I thought this image was interesting. I like the older, art deco sign. Ridgeland is a blip on the map, but it has charm, and the countryside around is beautiful.

White Country Church

If you drive through the countryside in Minnesota and Wisconsin you see a lot of small, white country churches and adjoining graveyards. This is St. Paul's Lutheran, near Farm Prairie and Hillsdale, WI. The church was built in 1893, but many of the headstones date back to the mid-1800's.
