Looking through my Firefox bookmarks of photo-blogs I was surprised to find one entitle “Ozark Light” by Randy Wilson. My apologies to Mr. Wilson, this was unintentional. I tried other titles to find they were also taken. I will try my best to find something better.

Caterpillar Graveyard
On my way to an unexplored nature preserve (fodder for a future post) in the northern foothills of the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois I drove past a graveyard on Illinois Rt 3. The golden hour light and the frost that was covering everything made me turn around and stop to take a few images. This looked to be private property and I did not want to overstay my lack of welcome so I shot a few pics hand-held and got out of there quickly.

The place was much larger than these images make it to look. I think there was potential for some great images if I wasn’t scared of being fed to pigs 😉

Why couldn’t they give cars a similar paint job? These things never seem to rust.

Ozark Bill Said Let There Be Ozark Light! “Tatanka”
This is the first post of Ozark Bill Presents – Ozark Light!
This image was taken on a trip that the wife and I went on this past fall. Our destination was Big Spring SP to stay in the cabins a few days. On our way out-of-town we stopped at Lone Elk Park to hopefully catch some sexual excitement of the Elk rut. Not too many Elk were seen doing interesting things on this visit. We did, however, get to watch some bison up close. I converted to this sepia-toned version using PS-Elements 9 and Nik Software’s Silver Efex Pro 2 software.
Tatanka is the Lakota word meaning “bull-bison” or “buffalo”. Did you know…? Buffalo is not the correct name for this species as the name buffalo is used to describe species in Asia.
