Another copy from just about a year ago.
Contrasts!
The first weekend of this month saw Jeannie and me in Chicago. Then back home in Merlin, earlier this week, half-an-inch of rain fell to break a long spell of dry weather. I went out last Thursday morning to capture some sights of the first misty morning of Autumn. The contrast between our rural home and Chicago was dramatic; to say the least! Enjoy!
(P.S. I sensed there was no need to describe each photograph in terms of which one was taken in Merlin or in Chicago!)

I prefer Merlin. Cities are fun to visit. 30 years ago, I would have loved to live in one but now, I prefer room to breathe, beautiful scenery & solitude. Thanks for sharing!

For a long time, Susan, I preferred living in the countryside to city but it is only in recent years that this feeling has come to the fore. Now I’m passionate about living with nature surrounding us!

Great photos, Paul.
I do also prefer to live in the country side. Enough just to visit the city once in a while.
