Over the past two weeks, I’ve been feeling well enough to venture out again into Ohio backroads and turn their beauty into photographs. Since chemo is every three weeks, the side effects subside (mostly) for the second and third weekends and now that I'm stronger I can do some photography. These adventures are the best way for me to get my landscape photography fix right now. While I’m building strength, I still can’t walk as far as I used to, and I also can’t stand for any length of time. I’m often able to shoot from the SUV, but also if I’m able to pull over, I can lean against it or even sit on the back to support myself.
One of the two routes was southeast of Mohican State forest, sometimes following the Mohican River, which was very high and running very fast. This drive had a few wrong turns as I was following a route designed for cyclists and in a few places, I had to improvise because it used bike trails instead of the roads. I was also looking for an abandoned bridge that I’d seen photos. I found it but it was so overgrown, I couldn’t get any photos of it. Sounds like a trip back in either winter or early spring when that’s all gone. The one photo I did get I’m very happy with (see below). It’s often hard to get the perfect shot of those round bales along with a place you can stop…and bonus…big fluffy clouds in the sky.
