Back in 2011 I was wandering through a nearby state park and ventured into an abandoned farm silo, a short distance off the trail. It is a place I have visited periodically over the years. This is taken inside the silo - click for a larger image:
Here’s the silo in setting:
Pentax Mz-S, SMC F 17-28 fisheye zoom, and Neopan 400 pushed to 1600 in HC110 DIL H.

This scene was so stunning I did a U turn and pulled over to take out the camera. It was a bit past dawn but the early morning sun filtering through the autumn foliage was pretty remarkable - be sure to click on the image to see a larger view:

Earlier this week… Under overcast skies I tramped into the Allegan Forest.
