Below you’ll see another new piece of inspirational fine art we’re adding to the store. Like yesterday’s image, this was made at Glacial Park in McHenry County, Illinois.
This expansive view the sky filled with lovely cumulus clouds is pared with this verse from Deuteronomy: There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendor. The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you.
Glacial Park is a spectacular area with nearly seven miles of well-maintained hiking trails. A bike path passes the outer edge, and there are also horseback riding trails.
Nearest city: McHenry, Illinois. Access to the main entrance (east side of the park) is off of Route 31; there’s another small parking area and boat landing on the southwest side (Keystone Road).

Last summer I was back in my home state of Illinois, and discovered what for me was a new shooting spot: Glacial Park. Located in McHenry County, this 2800 acre area, known by some as the “crown jewel” of the McHenry County Conservation District, is truly a wonderful destination for landscape photography. Better yet, it’s only 15 minutes from my sister’s home.
Here’s some background on the park’s wetlands:
Though a rarity in such a small area, Glacial Park contains all three types of kettle lake remnant wetlands- fens, bogs and marshes. The park has an elevated fen, and well-developed stream, bog, and marsh ecosystems. It also has prairie and oak savanna ecosystems. Many plant and animal communities flourish here, with wetlands being the prime ecosystem. (Illinois Geological History website)
Running through the park is the Nippersink Creek.
Beautiful!
I made the image below on a late afternoon in July 2010 as a storm was moving in. It’s been paired with a verse from Scripture and is now a piece of inspirational fine art.

The fourth edition of my photography book, The Third Day, was recently released.
It’s a celebration of the natural world in all its splendor. God’s artistry inspires and motivates – and can be a great catalyst for reflection and contemplation.
The plants, trees and landscape of New England are featured elements in the collection; paired with excerpts from Scripture, they’re visual representations of the Word.
