Monthly_Update Message
The second half of the year has started and happy to say the Midwest has been mild this summer - realize I have just created a heat wave to strike soon! We have experienced a couple of weeks of 90 degree heat days and I recall one day having 111 degree heat index! Overall it's been good and I am not complaining at all. Have a week long road trip coming up and hopefully will have some good images for you next month - if I get some spare time to shoot.
For my friends around Central Illinois, if you like live music with adult beverages, plan to attend Rock the Farm at Makinaw Valley Vineyard on August 9. It's a benefit concert supporting Easter Seals Central Illinois with an emphasis on Cortical visual impairment. Visit https://www.goteamalex.com/ for information and tickets.
The first image is actually a stream in Central Wisconsin, it's just downstream of Petenwell Dam near Necedah WI. The section of trees in the left and middle part of the frame are actually on an island, this image was captured a couple of years ago in the spring when water levels were high.
Our second image this month is American Rallycross held a few weeks ago at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison IL. This was my first opportunity to capture images of rally cars - wow, do they accelerate quickly! Rallycross circuits consist of paved and unpaved circuits around 1 mile in length, with two different classes of race cars. This is great racing and I encourage you to find an event to attend. The image for this month has Chris Atkinson in the Subaru WRX and Steve Arpin in the Ford Fiesta - this was coming out of the last turn with about 100 yards to the finish line. Atkinson won the race to record his first ARX final win.
Here's a link to download the appropriate version of this month's image for your desktop, one for standard screens and one for wide-screens. Right click on the text for the format you need and select Save As, save to a location on your computer that you can remember and change the background as needed for your OS.
