Below are 3 photos from a recent discovery. TumblingRun lives in Cherokee, Iowa and is a retired railroad conductor. He also takes amazing photos of the Iowa countryside. Personally I find trains very romantic and evocative of a more artistic age, so it comes as no surprise to me that a railman would be so in tuned with the open spaces and nooks and crannies of rural America. I am sure these are not the first of his photos I will post. Enjoy!!

Three Flickr Photos - TumblingRun
It is not secret that I generally rely on photos uploaded by some amazing photographers to highlight Iowa's awesomeness on my blog. Many of these are found on Flickr, my favorite photo sharing site. It just goes to prove that there is an artist lurking in each of us and beauty all around waiting to be chronicled. You will find a list of some of my favorite photographers with an Iowan orientation in the sidebar of the blog. I try to do my best to give credit where credit is due and thank these artists for sharing their creations with the world.

Oreon E. Scott Chapel - Drake University
Non-denominational chapel at Drake Divinity School. 1st of all I had no clue there was a divinity school at Drake, always thought of it as a place for rural schools to hold proms and track buffs to attend the relays. Secondly what a wonderful space that I must meditate/pray in next time I am back home.
"Red Light District" Downtown Fairfield Iowa
Great photo of Fairfield, certainly one of the most unique cities in Iowa.
Iowa Farm Scene - Balltown
2nd post about Balltown associated awesomeness. Not bad for a town of 73.
