Haven't had the time to do many road trips as of late. These were taken around my area, on the border of Illinois and Wisconsin.
As always, I value any and all critique and comments.
Thanks in advance and keep up the great work,
Ken

Beautiful photos. My ancestors are from Stillman Valley, just south of Rockford. I wish I could have spent more time exploring the area when I drove back there in early May.

Love the first three.

#4 is ruined by the sun, imho. Looks unnatural.

Really like #5, just with the building was a red barn.

Why do photographs like this always make me want to move to that place?
