My Favorite Spot to Drive Through

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Kirby Fine Homes

There is this little area of road near the Mississippi River just south of La Crescent in Southeast Minnesota that always captures my eye. If I had to describe peace, then this would be one of the first places I would think of. We drive though it every time I travel to Wisconsin to visit the in-laws. On one side is this old looking train bridge that sits just above a small tributary stream. On the other side is a water-marsh area that is always a nice bright green. Finally, after two years, I stopped to take some photos. Enjoy!

What a very special place Jennifer.  I love the Minnesota rural areas.  So serene and uplifting.  And always beautiful.  I envy you!

Thanks Dana, Midwest rural areas in general are very beautiful. Having grown up surrounded by corn fields in southern Indiana, I have a soft spot for rural life.

I have a few of those places.  They lift me up.  One is someplace that isn't easy to visit... Moab, UT.

Lane - one of my favorite places on earth is the southern island of New Zealand. I have only been there once, and would love to go back someday. It is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

Jennifer - isn't it amazing how many things we don't get around to photographing? I'm learning to go around the block and stop when I pass something interesting.

Ok, it wouldn't take too much arm twisting to get me to NZ... or Australia.  Especially if I could take a Jeep.
