This is my intersection on the way into "town" (the small former fishing village on Beaver island), via Sloptown Road (home at one time of a series of pig farms). This is pretty typical of traffic on Beaver Island (and of the dirt roads) - the antithesis of Chicago which is also on Lake Michigan, but 350 miles due south)! Taken on my way to meet Vickey for a photowalk on the east side of the island.
Beautiful b&w image! How wonderful that you are able to spend this time on BI which is such a fabulous contrast to Chicago! You have the best of both worlds! I hope your photowalk was rewarding! Fav!
@maggiemae Ooops...I wasn't clear...this is on Beaver Island which is 350 miles plus a 2 hour ferry ride north of Chicago. Same Lake Michigan, but a very different world!
@pamknowler Thanks Pam -- it was a great photo walk -- I missed the snake eating the frog, but caught his huge 'smile' afterwards...will post it tomorrow as I'm still working on it (very cluttered area as it was in the woods). Vickey saw the whole thing, but I couldn't get there fast enough.
How wonderful to have a peek at the surroundings of your summer home! It bears the same weighted resemblance between Los Angeles and Nova Scotia! We "big city girls" decidedly need this breather each year! Lovely!
@taffy - Your commentary confused me. You mentioned that it is your intersection on your way into town and I assumed that it was nearby. When I saw the two figures I thought of Andy and Opie walking with their poles to the fishing hole.
I don't think I'd mind this kind of traffic one bit! We actually do have dirt roads in our community, but they're not as pretty as this one. And there were never any pig farms on them. Great shot!
