In my never-ending pursuit of saving Iowa from some of its inhabitants, and all of the politicians that infest it, I have been afield again taking historical photographs of my state.
Once again, I urge all Humans to take pictures of their own states in order to preserve a photographic record of the natural beauty of their states; before such spoilers and maggots as the BUWIs attack -- and foul the land and its disgraced people.
Have you seen Iowa Falls at night recently? From Route 20? There are so many red lights over Iowa Falls, because of the masses of ButtUgly Windmills (of the BUWI Holocaust) that are there, you can barely see the lights of a Human city underneath those damned things. It is an awful sight, with even worse portentions.
There are 92 photographs in this collection. In three of them, there is a set of three windmills of the BUWI variety. They are not acceptable. Put simply, any 'view' of any state is spoiled and befouled if it has more than 1% of its face value (visible area) ruined by such mechanical ugliness as the ButtUgly Windmills. That means that ANY view (from highest up to lowest down, and from furthest left to furthest right) can be ruined if 1% of it is spoiled by unnatural and anti-Human machines. After which, it is no longer a view of natural beauty.
Certainly, that precludes any county that is festooned with those pedestals of big-business greed from the BUWIs.
Photos 60, 63, and 72 show you what I mean. Any view situated near enough to those three windmills, such that more than 1% of said view is occupied by mechanical machines such as ButtUgly Windmills -- is neither scenic or natural or beautiful. That means that any ButtUgly Windmill has around it a Zone of Ugliness wherein more than 1% of the view is occupied by a BUWI spawn.
Now, magnify that by the thousands of ButtUgly Windmills which the Democrat/Homosexuals and the Homosexual/RepoCraps have allowed to plague Iowa -- and you start to realize how bad the situation is for all Real Iowans.

The photographs from 07-03-2013: The day before the Fourth of July.
1 -- In Iowa, that place which the BUWIs want to trash (literally), Ancient Human Law holds that each county is responsible for creating within its borders any and all places suitable for Nature Conservation. This is the entrance to one such place.
3 -- This used to be a lake. In 2004, when I first found this place, the lake was about ten feet deep (at least) and was so darkly colored blue that the waters were almost violet -- a dark purple/violet that I vividly remember. Now, the barriers which held in the waters have been removed and the lake is gone, leaving an oasis of green vegetation instead; a wetlands. I have no idea why this was done, if it was done deliberately.
4 -- If you walk along the outer road to the left of the landing and turn back, you will see this. The line of trees that you see behind the Cashmere is just the beginning of a small jungle, very thick.
5 -- In 2004, this was a real road and not grown over like this.
6 -- Turn away from the landing, and this is your view.
7 -- I created this over-colored version to emphasize the special feeling that one gets at such places as these. First of all, because to the outside world they are not supposed to exist. The dipshit perceptions that people get from no-information sources are supposed to be the gospel truth, and must be adhered to. Failure to do so, will upset the unnatural order of their dipshit society, and is therefore frowned upon, stricken, rejected and/or imprisoned. And secondly, because they really are showcases of a world that used to be here.
8 -- Turn around from this view (in the summer), and you find this.
9 -- Hundreds, perhaps many thousands, of these Dragonflies occupy the far forests that border the oasis here. And yes, they all look exactly the same.
10 -- Close study.
11 -- Close Study.
12 -- If you go right from the ramp (instead of left) you immediately plunge into a roadless density of trees and vegetation that is so closely packed that it resembles a jungle.
13
14 -- Here, a small pond has formed; and was populated with ducks until I came tromping along.
15
17 -- Close Study.
18 -- And, this type as well. The first two types, which were larger, were very content to sit about and have their pictures taken. This variety, however, was smaller and very active; always on the move.
19
20 -- As soon as you leave there, you encounter the river system that is associated with it.
21 -- Wetlands surround and saturate the area, making it a natural reserve for wildlife. There is a fawn hidden under the tree to the left of the doe. After watching me for a while, the doe and the fawn ran off into the background.
22 -- The bottom lowlands of river valleys make for choice agricultural properties, due to the rich soils brought down by the river over the ages.
23
24
25 -- This is just one of many such places in Iowa. All river valleys in Iowa have a large assortment of locations such as these. Iowa is covered with river systems. In the westernmost portion, they all flow to the southwest -- to the Missouri River. Everywhere else, they all flow to the southeast -- to the Mississippi River.
26 -- On the way home from there, I came across a tornado forming. The round discus in the clouds is the beginning of a typical tornado turbine. This time, however, it remained linear and smashed its way across the plains towards Fort Dodge -- where there was a big fireworks display going on.
27 -- This is a photograph which I took to show the unique lighting that occurs under such conditions. I followed the storm to my house.

The photographs from 10-20-2013:
29 -- As is so often the case on the Great Plains (and especially in Iowa), it is impossible to tell what your adventure is going to encounter. This scene looks quite placid, and portents nothing of what is happening northwards, behind this scene.
30 -- The harvest has been going on for days by now, and some fields are already finished. The large bins on wheels, behind this tractor, are used to gather grain or corn from the harvesters; and then to haul it to the chosen grain silos. When those fill up, the corn is transferred to a grain elevator by truck. A grain elevator is simply a large storage and drying silo. They usually exist in bunches of two to eight, molded together.
31 -- I have included as many scenes of rural environments as I can in this work. My intention, of course, is to reveal (for all to see) how decent and sublime our rural country is -- before the BUWI plague arrives. At this moment, the BUWI factories (of greed and wastage upon the land) are busy making more and more component parts for their ButtUgly Windmills -- particularly in Queer Fort Madison -- that all of us are expected to embrace and suck and blow. Do you know who and what (Big Business Assholes and Political Policy Makers) are getting rich and richer from the destruction of our country's natural beauty?
32 -- This shot is taken from the same position as the previous one. I try to show in my photographs that the land is real, and it does not hurt to be a part of it -- that is, if you are not a TechnoAddict that cannot exist from hour to hour without your constant dependency upon gadgets, and ButtUgly things that you were raised to fondle and suck and blow.
33 -- This is a picture of the upper reaches of the Boone River, which becomes much larger down south by Webster City.
34 -- Whereupon, I spotted this little bug; minding its own business of course.
35 -- Before going into Kossuth County, I crossed parts of Humboldt County. There, I found a new conservation area dedicated to prairie ecology.
36 -- The rows of evergreen trees and shrubs are a smart idea. They prevent grass and soil reduction due to wind and rain.
37 -- This picture is quite important in that it shows how the Great Plains Prairies are supposed to look. The following seven shots are all about that -- what a prairie is supposed to look like. This is the direction we should be taking, to preserve as much of this kind of landscape (and to regenerate as much of it as we can) without the blight of ButtUgliness all over it.
38 -- Such places are excellent for walking and being with Nature. Out here, you can see what the Earth is supposed to be like.
39 -- And, you encounter natural phenomena like this tree, with many blue berries on it. This is a tree with character.
40 -- This is the exact opposite of the scummy and perverted megacities that the twisted BUWIs serve with their nature-killing ButtUgly Windmills. The captives and prisoners and voter/followers, that litter the streets of those megacities, think you have to go to Ecuador or Argentina to find free spaces and natural environments. Could that be because the BUWIs intend to destroy Natural America, and want city idiots (Idiots that have been Lied To) thinking that you have to leave America to be free in Nature? Do the BUWIs own Resorts and Vacation Lands in Ecuador and Argentina?
41 -- I saw this tree out there. I shot about ten frames of this tree and the birds in it. It is a photographic study of a structure and its environs.
42
43
44 -- Is it just me? Or, does that tree seem to have an aura all around it? You know what an aura is, don't you? It is a Natural Phenomenon that all Natural Creatures are supposed to have. And, no BUWI ever spawned has one.
45 -- More wide open spaces. Now, I am crossing northwards into Kossuth County. The further north I go, the more farming activity I encounter.
46
47 -- This is a typical small-scale grain bin operation. There are thousands of these across the Midwest. After being dried here for a while, by fans that force air through the bins, the corn will be shipped out to the large grain elevator operations, called Co-Ops.
48 -- This is a very good vista shot, with golden corn in the foreground. From this one point, I took this and the next four photographs.
49 -- This farmer passed me by as I was using the camera. He waved and was friendly. Every farmer I encounter out here is friendly. Of course, I would never get near a BUWI sucking and blowing political squatter.
50
51 -- If you think I have a photographic thing about telephone poles and long distance wires, you are right. Telephone poles are ideal for quick hangings of anti-Humans, but such scenes also illustrate the concept of distance. These wires, are happily going away from the Des Moines Rearsniffers.
52 -- This could be the best photograph of the entire collection. Why?
53 -- This is taken miles away, at another section further north. I keep pushing northwards looking for more scenery and more events to photograph. Can you see the harvester in the distance? There are thousands of them out and about in Iowa during the harvest season; silently moving through the fields reaping the harvest that the world needs. It is only when you get close to them, that you realize they are making a lot of sound. But, out here the expanses are so great and the tourists so very few that they are seldom heard.
54 -- When I turned around from the last shot, I saw this one, so I took it. Long ago, some Humans made a brilliant decision to grow groves of trees in various places across Iowa. There was also a shelter-tree project for a while, intended to protect croplands from wind erosion, but that fizzled out when WWII started. We need many and many more groves of trees all over Iowa -- much bigger than this one, so people can walk through them.
55 -- Further north again, and still in Kossuth County. You now have the inestimable pleasure of seeing for yourself how fertilizer is delivered to fields that have recently been harvested. The smell is intense, even at this distance.
56
57 -- I am starting to encounter farming traffic on the county roads.
58 -- The idea is for the harvester (left) and the tractor with hoppers (right) to drive next to each other (parallel), with the harvester going through the crops and reaping them. The finished (selected) product then leaves the harvester by the long tube, and is dumped into the waiting hoppers which are riding alongside. When they fill up, the harvester can continue for a while by storing the corn or grain in its own hopper on top. Meanwhile, the tractor takes the filled hoppers to the nearest designated storage silos, which are usually small.
59 -- I take photographs like this one and the next four, to show the land. The land that is so very important and desirous and not to be spoiled.
60 -- I call these -- 'What's around the corner?' shots. There is another one later. This one, has a real 'Wizard of Oz' quality about it. There is a lot of that out here.
61
62
63
64 -- Here, you see what I was talking about. The harvester and the tractor with hopper are driving next to each other, and the harvester is offloading corn into the hopper.
65
66 -- Here, the tractor has returned from taking a load to a nearby silo, and is rejoining the harvester which has continued to work while the tractor and hopper were gone.
67
68
69
70
71 --- I take photographs like this one, and another one later, to show the structures of the Rural Electric projects that bring electricity to the farmlands; without which the farm houses would remain unlit and the silos would not be able to operate. None of which, comes from the ButtUgly Windmills. They lie.
72
73 -- By now, it is getting to be late in the evening, and I am still moving northwards. I am pushing the limits of this camera, but I want to take some twilight shots of this area. Photography taken under such low light conditions is usually very disappointing, since our own Human eyes are so much better at seeing in these conditions than cameras are.
74 -- An old corn crib and some small storage bins, overgrown with trees and bushes. Left as ornamentation on the land, and quite pleasing. They also provide habitat for small animals and birds. I will explain further. In the 80's, there was a great dissemination of many small farmers away from the land. They were unable to make a living out here on such a small scale (in that economic climate), so they sold out to larger farmers and went to such places as Peoria, Kansas City, Des Moines, Omaha, Sioux City, and Minneapolis. They left behind them many fine farm houses and thousands of field buildings, that were of no use to the new owners. Most of the houses have been sold as 'acreages', which are the house and immediate buildings and a few surrounding acres of trees and grass. Such 'acreages' are quite attractive, usually four to twenty acres in size, and deep in the rural countryside. Nowadays, any 'acreage' that was not occupied since its farmer/owner left for the big city (in the 80's) has a rundown house on it, but the land and trees are still in good shape. There are still hundreds of 'acreages' available, if you are willing to replace the old house with a new one.
The field buildings, were either incorporated into the new and larger operations -- or left standing where they were.
75 -- The clouds make it darker, of course. A farmer is tilling his fields, after they have been harvested. He is pulling a low and large tiller implement behind the tractor. Notice how the ground on this side of him has already been tilled.
76
77
78 -- He is going north, but I decide to take another way.
79 -- And, what I find is this; another leftover silo from an earlier farm.
80 -- Once the hoppers are full, they have their own tubes to offload corn into the receiving chutes at the storage silos. By now, I am getting the munchies. It is much colder, and I am wondering what town I am near. That looks suspiciously like Titonka in the background, which I do not expect to have any store open; as it is late evening on a Sunday.
81 -- Sure enough, it is Titonka and everything is closed except the grain elevators. As this is 'harvest time', the elevators are receiving grain trucks at all hours. If I did not mention it before, many harvest operations happen at night; so the flow of 'grain hauler' trucks is also constant day and night.
82 -- A parting look at Titonka, before I continue northwards.
83 -- Well, I do not remember these silos. They have been here for a while, so I must have traveled around them when I was last in this area, back in '07. Like I have said before, you never know what is there (in Iowa), until you are there.
84 -- I push on northwards against the failing light, looking for 'munchies' and more vistas to photograph.
85
86
87 -- This is as far as I go, north of Route 9. Loss of light and hunger turn me southwards from here, and I go down to Buffalo Center to one of the new and larger Casey's stores that cross Iowa on Route 9; Iowa's last line of convenience before the northern border.
88 -- On the trek back down the Crystal Rim to Eagle Grove, I find these harvesters sitting in the darkness.
89 -- There is a reason why these transformers are up on poles like this; topsoil space is precious. If you put these on the ground, they would require a concrete pad, fencing etc. That would be a waste of good topsoil space, and difficult to maneuver around with harvesters and tractors.
90 -- I am to the final limit of the camera now. I am still taking twilight shots, many of which you will not see here.
91 -- Back at Eagle Grove, a railroading town and proud of it.
92 -- As you can see, Eagle Grove has its own huge grain elevator system.
