Traveling through time (and figuring out a few new things about RAW)
Another from that gorgeous sunset behind the wind farm at Buffalo Ridge (near Lake Benton, MN). KK and I got off US 75 on Norwegian Creek Road, which is what’s heading off in front of us here. The GPS, which was a bit confused about our little photo detour, actually suggested we continue down this [...]
