Over the years you're bound to get some good photos. Instead of keeping them hidden away I decided to put some of mine where others could 'take a peek.'  The pictures on this site are from my digitized collection of over 24,000 photographs. About half are scanned images of 35mm slides and negatives. The rest were taken with digital cameras.

I have organized the pictures into several major areas listed below. You can click on a topic to see an overview of that topic; on the overview screen click on a thumbnail  image to see a full size image. You can also navigate around the site by using the navigation bar at the top of each page.

Vacations - pictures from trips we've taken.

Favorites - some of the shots I'm most fond of.

Horses - shots I've accumulated from hanging around too many horse shows.

Barns - photos of some barns that caught my eye (and camera).

Steeples - how many shapes can religions make?.

Trains - Having been fascinated by various aspects of railroading I've taken quite a few pictures of 'train stuff.' I have split these pictures into several sections:

Steamer #261  covers an impressive steam locomotive which 'lives' in the Minneapolis area.

Historical Railroading  has pictures of surviving structures from the glory days of railroading in the Twin Cities area.

Light Rail covers the construction of a new transportation option in the Twin Cities area.

BNSF Relocate covers Hwy 12 construction and BNSF relocation.

Depots contains pictures of over 230 passenger stations, mostly located in small towns in the Midwest. For a map of depot locations click here - click on a marker to get info about that depot. For a slide show of depots click here. Or, view index pages of the depots in one of these sections:

Minnesota Stations (108),

Iowa Stations (42),

Ohio Stations (24),

Wisconsin Stations (15), and

Indiana Stations (13),

Illinois Stations (9),

Other Stations (23)
