Here--10-19 and 10-28-2014:

This installment of the Here Photo Series about the Real Iowa is a combination of two days of moving generally northeastwards from where I last left off.

Before we get to 10-19 however, I have included 14 pictures that were taken during the interim between sessions. Then, there are 48 photographs taken 10-19, and 68 photographs taken 10-28 -- for a total of 130.

The series will continue into the winter time.

*************************


This picture is taken close to home, by Goldfield. The road graders are constantly working on the county dirt roads in all 99 counties, during good weather. We will see another one of these in Floyd County later.
Also, this is the real coloration; but there was so much saturation in the original that I had to reduce it considerably.
'Saturation' is the intensity of colors, not the hue or tint of the colors.


Another view of Eagle Grove. Note how green the corn is. By the time I took pictures on 10-28, all of that green had subsided into gold and yellow.


North Wright County, and what caught my attention was a bunch of rabbits in the grass and on the road. My real goal was to get a shot of the ever-illusive herons, that constantly avoid having their pictures taken. Not that they are hyperactive about it, they can only fly away at one mile an hour anyway; and I have never seen a heron fly further than a few hundred yards. They are not like the Great White American Pelicans that will fly twenty miles between lakes just to attend water sports tournaments.


Hah! I got a picture of one at the swamps in the Rolling Hills.


I stopped next to a curious woodchuck and took his picture.


Still looking for herons, I went past Morse Lake and took two pictures of Canadian Geese.




I found some more herons at the South Morse area; but that was it for the summer of 2014.








Weeks later, I stopped for a few minutes at the town of Hubbard in Hardin County. No sooner did I stop, then I realized that there was a harvester coming at me from the west. I quickly took some photographs. Until 10-19, I was busy working and writing; and I did not have time for any further pictures.






Here begins the collection from 10-19. I was heading for Greene, which I never reached that day, with the intention of moving easterly to Guttenberg (which I don't think I will reach this year) -- and suddenly I came across a very picturesque part of the West Fork Cedar River greenbelt north of Hansell, in Franklin County near the border with Butler County. I began to sniff out the area like a hound searches for a bone, and after half an hour I realized that the place was great for photography. My previous plan went out the windows, and I knew that I would be in this area for most of the daylight; but I needed boots, which I was lacking.
I broke some land speed records driving back to Hampton (which I had just stopped at for supplies) and ran into the Shopko where I bought better boots than I usually would have paid for -- and then zoomed back to this point to take this panorama picture of the area.
As is always the case in Iowa, you cannot tell what is there until you get there. You can see the greenbelt in this picture, but only the most general features of a place are apparent out here. So, the details always bring surprises.


Next to the greenbelt now.


As this is harvest time, there was a lot of agricultural traffic along the road; also since it runs through the greenbelt from one large area of fields to another. By 'large' I mean counties.






Officially, this stretch of greenbelt is called the Westfork Wildlife Area Wetland Tract of Franklin County. At this point, I followed a tractor to a bridge over the West Fork and took some pictures there.










Further upstream.




This area is on the same river, but a little further upstream and cannot be seen in the panorama.
These pictures, prior to going into the greenbelt, are very special. Not so much for the photography, but for the subject matter. This is genuine prairie -- seldom seen anywhere else. This is what Dances With Wolves went west to find. This is what used to cover the Great Plains.










I have to suppose that 'City People' have no clue as to what is going on out here in the real world. Well, at an area like this, there is not usually so much traffic. There are weeks during the growing season or during winter when I would be the only vehicle on the road for hours at a time. However, this is the end of the growing season and now the crops must be harvested and moved immediately to their drying stations. The corn does not go immediately to large grain elevators -- those tall concrete structures that you see in my pictures. The corn has to be dried out first, before it can be stored in massive quantities. Otherwise, you will get rot and fermentation at the bottom of the silos (elevators).
After the corn is dried it is then moved again to large elevators or silos. That keeps the pygmies busy.


The grain hauler trucks are very numerous this time of year, and are always working year round anyway. There is an old saying from Africa about the Lion and the Pygmies. The Lion's roar is great and tremendous, but the paths through the jungle are worn smooth by Pygmy Armies. To me, the pygmies are the grain haulers. Forever busy, forever on the go, forever in the way, forever wearing down the roads; and usually wherever the pygmies can go I can go.




I took quite a few shots of this, due to the colorations and to make screensavers for my readers. I have not changed the saturation of these, but you can if you wish.






Now, we go into the grove to see what it looks like from the inside. The greenbelt is further through the trees, and we will keep moving in that direction.








This is the border of the greenbelt, hidden by the outer groves. As you can see it is very thick going here. That is typical of the ecology borders of a greenbelt. Further into the greenbelt the undergrowth rapidly disappears.


Still moving towards the river.




This is what I was looking for.




I take pictures like this to be complete about what I am doing, and if it interests me. I took thirty shots of this, with various leaves falling into the scene.


The next three pictures were taken as I walked downstream.






I was beginning to lose the light in there, so I decided to break out and get some evening pictures of the area. With this photo I had to turn down the saturation to make it presentable. People just would not believe the colors as they really are.


Close by, is a farmer in a harvester working in a field of soybeans.




Further upstream, I turned west and then went back along the greenbelt southwards. I took this picture because it is so typical of the kinds of buildings situated near the greenbelts; and I would not want to live there, because it is on the wrong side of the trees. This is the west side. The howling winds and thunderstorms come from the west and the north.


I started to roam about in a general southerly direction. I came across this well organized farm, with cattle and a lot of activity. This is a typical harvest time scene. Remember, the vast majority of corn is not grown for People -- that kind of corn is called Sweet Corn, just like drinkable water is called Sweet Water. Most corn is for the livestock, and an increasing percentage goes over to the Ethanol Plants.
This is a healthy looking farm, with all of the indications of up-to-date management.
I side with the farmers on a lot of issues -- except for those god-damned buttugly windmills. One of my grandfathers was an Irish Farmer in Michigan, and I have always been aware of the farmer's blood in my veins. I suppose I should qualify that statement. I have great sympathies for the 'small farmer' with 10,000 acres or less (100 acres on a side).
I have little sympathy for the Massive Big Business Farmers. For one reason, because they drive up the prices of farm equipment -- because they have the money to spend, and it makes life more difficult for the smaller farmers, which forces them to sell out to the Massive Big Business Farmers -- who are heavily invested in the Big Business of Expensive Farm Equipment.
Today, a new Harvester can cost up to $400,000.
That is -- FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!
For a machine that I wouldn't spend $100,000 on. Now, of course, that brings a lot of laughter from the Massive Big Business Farmers; but if I was a farmer, I would build my own harvester anyway -- so it is a moot point there.
The case is, Massive Big Business Farming is in bed with the ButtUgly Windmill Industry up to their eyeballs. While the BUWIs are biting one end of the pillow, the MBBFs are biting the other end; with both trying to sucker the small farmers into putting their Sphincters-In-The-Sky on small farmlands.






I like this one. All over the Midwest this scene is duplicated tens of thousands of times. Harvesters sleep in the fields where the next work has to be done.


With the sun fading fast, I decided to call it a day as I had a lot of other things to do back home. I stopped here to take a long shot of the farm in the background.


Then, I noticed that there was a deer in the foreground munching on some corn leaves -- the deer version of tortillas.




This picture shows the terracing that is used in the Midwest to reduce soil erosion. This is also a very typical Iowan view -- classic. You will notice the usage of Norway Spruce in the islands. They are always the highest trees and have that classic evergreen shape. Without the Norway Spruce there would be almost no evergreen presence in Iowa.


Now starts the photography for 10-28. This is in the town of Greene, which we will return to later. My plan is to drive along the Shell Rock River, northwards to the town of Marble Rock where I remembered there being a view of the river and a spillway.










Marble Rock is about the most typical of small Iowa towns, except this one has a convenience store which a lot of them do not have. Compared to the average small Iowa town, my town of Eagle Grove is almost palatial with three convenience stores, a supermarket, a dollar general store, a hardware store, a lumber store, an auto parts store, three banks, two restaurants, a subway, a department store, two mexican restaurants, a pharmacy, a medical clinic, a fitness and therapy center, a furniture store, two bars (at least), a sports shop and I think there is a chiropractor there somewhere.
















While I was snooping about the town for photos to take, I kept hearing a dog protesting. I found him, and he immediately shut up and posed for a picture.


This is what I remembered was here. Many moons ago, I visited Marble Rock in the summertime; it was like a trip to Ireland because it was so green and lush with vegetation. This is a high spillway as they go in Iowa. Aside from Woodman’s Hollow, I am not sure if there is a real waterfall in Iowa; water sliding down rocky cliffsides, a waterfall does not make.
The Shell Rock is not a large river, but you can see how powerful even a small river can be when under control. Now, imagine that much water pouring over the banks into a town during a flood. It happens, to any size of watercourse here in Iowa.








This is the next best thing I remember about Marble Rock.




On the way to Marble Rock I passed a grader. This is the same one, parked at the only store in town. Once again, this is all classic Midwest scenery; trucks, tractors, graders, haulers (etc) all occupy the roads and towns during the harvest season.




Marble Rock from the east.


These next four photographs all look south as I travel east. My goal now is to leave Floyd and Butler counties and to go into Chickasaw County beyond Nashua.








This is Nashua from the west. I have to go in there for supplies anyway, so I will take some pictures too.














Now, I am definitely in Chickasaw County; and this is the Cedar River north of Nashua. I have only enough time and light left to make a beeline across the county heading due east.


The 28th was a very mixed day for light and weather. Generally, the skies off to the south were clear; but over me there was a great agitation of clouds that sometimes allowed large swaths of brilliant light to pass through.








Still on a course due east.


The road came to an end, and I chose to go south; that was a good choice since it brought me to a view of two harvesters at work -- one on the hillside with me, and one further down in the valley.




This is one of those photographs that only comes along once in a lifetime.


I turned around and went north and then east again. My intention was to find Ionia.


Ionia.








This church in Ionia was blasted by a ray of light while I was on the main street trying to photograph the mill. I could see from blocks away that the whole building was lit up like a beacon. I have darkened the picture and reduced the saturation so the church can be seen clearly.






I left Ionia and headed southeast for the Wapsipinicon -- the Dark Beauty of Iowa Rivers. Near the river, I took these photographs. As you can tell I was primarily concerned with light study.








As I continued to wander, I became more impressed with Chickasaw County. I left off taking photographs and explored various parts of the county. Chickasaw is so scenic that I will have to return here in the winter time to see if I can get some classic snow scenes, or if I am lucky some winter storm scenes. Also (if it happens), a session on a clear day after a snow storm, with picture postcard shots that you could sell to your grandma.
Finally, well after sunset, I found myself back at Greene in Butler County. I decided to try some long exposures.


My night photography abilities are next to nil. It is not that I do not know how. It is because I do not have the equipment yet. Plus, when I do get into night photography I will not be using infra-red or artificial lighting. And, I do not want the pictures coming out as sepia like these are. So, I will have to get a very special camera.
You should know that the Human eye is still very much better at seeing various shadings of light and contrast and depths than any camera is so far. There are many pictures that I would like to take, that just do not come out right with cameras, as the scenes are not collectively bright enough for the camera sensors to pick up enough light and then differentiate -- therefore I have to memorize them. By that I mean, the sensors are not as sensitive as the Human eye; and that means the sensors cannot tell the difference between various shades and textures of lower light. Due to that, many great pictures are lost to us.


On the bridge over the Shell Rock. I did not mean to take this one, I was just checking the focus reactions; but I kept it anyway.


So, there I am taking shots of downtown Greene; and for some reason I glanced downstream and was surprised to see a Man standing in the river. He was fishing.






This is on the opposite side of the bridge from the Fisherman. This is for screensavers.




I wondered about taking a picture in the car, without a tripod. This is the best I could get. A tripod arrangement would have helped.


I do not have the equipment for good night photography. I want to get into it a lot, but it will require research. This is also taken by the Nikon that took the rest of the pictures, using the Auto w/o flash control.
These three show you what the typical nightline looks like in the Real Iowa. Compare this with the clutter and disparagement of a city nightscape. Those red lights on the left horizon are buttugly windmills. They flash red all night with an ugly display that I call 'Night Measles'.


These were taken from an overpass above I35 north of 20. What you are seeing is the lights of big trucks driving under the overpass.




Lastly, Eagle Grove at night from the east.
