As I stopped for lunch in Fennimore, WI I saw this train alongside the road and it looked like it could use a little bit of love. As I looked around the area I discovered that it was known as a "Dinky" train. This would be a 3-foot gauge train line that operated in Wisconsin from 1878 - 1926. The train sits behnd a fence, but you are able to go up into the train to look around. There is a museum and a mural right next to this spot. It looks as if at one point there was a children's train ride that went around the train itself. This ride is either only during the summer months or long since closed down.

Captured with my Panasonic LX3 and touched up in Capture NX2

Raid today. I spotted this photo while driving back from running some errands this morning. I really like the contrast between the leaves and the reflection of the tree in the puddle. Most of the post was done to emphasize this.

Picture taken with Panasonic LX3 with Post processing done in Capture NX2 with Nik Color Efex 3 filters.

Out for my morning jog once again. I have wanted to take a picture of the sun rising through the trees. Many might recall me missing this shot earlier in this project.

Since the time change I am having to leave a bit later in order to be our when the sun rises. This photo was taken just as i was finishing up.

Captured with the Panasonic LX3. Raw filed converted to DNG and then opened in ACR a simple levels adjustment and then sent to CS3 where I added the Nik Color Efex filter Polaroid process.

Thanks for looking.

Another early morning of jogging netted me this photo. The cattails are just going to seed and the sun is rising in the background. Despite being in a residential neighborhood there aren't any houses.

This photo was taken with the LX3 and edited in Capture NX2. The Photo effect is courtesy of Nik Color Efex 3.0 and is the Polaroid Transfer effect.

Hope you enjoy it.
