Rails disappear in the golden glow of late autumn, beckoning us to travel with them to new adventures, to wonders just over the hill, to rainbows as bright as the ochres of fall sunsets. We see clearly the twists and turns, the ripples of uncertainty, the hidden setbacks, and yet the future lures dreamers to journey into the light of our personal unknown.

On Orchard Drive in Liberty Grove, Wisconsin, the familiar site of a tire swing scales up to the unfamiliar thanks to a monster tire. This digitized photograph exaggerates the contrasts in this landscape, setting the organic curves of the autumn maple against the geometric shapes of the farm barn. The enhanced colors set the warm ochres and oranges against the cool blues and purples. These contrasting energies compensate for the absence of the swinger, who, we hope, will be lured back at any moment.
