Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. 92COUN_120811_004.JPG: Carroll County Organized in 1828 Named for Charles Carroll While much of Carroll County is level farmland producing soybeans, corn, and winter wheat, Freeman Reservoir's 2,800-acre lake provides a variety of recreational activities.
2. 92COUN_120811_010.JPG: Madison County Organized in 1823 Named for James Madison Beginning in the early 1900s, the automotive industry in Madison County grew to include production of headlights, taillights, horns, batteries, and other accessories. Also known for its Native American history, the mounds near Anderson are believed to have been constructed by prehistoric Native Americans of the Adena-Hopewell culture.
3. 92COUN_120811_017.JPG: Ripley County Organized in 1818 Named for E.L. Wheelock Ripley Tradition and craftsmanship have been the hallmarks of Ripley County's furniture, casket, and cabinet making industries. The arches, columns, and spire of Tyson United Methodist Church add variety to the county's architecture. When the tiny community school of Milan won the 1954 Indiana State High School Basketball Championship, Hoosier pride soared.
4. 92COUN_120811_019.JPG: Pulaski County Organized in 1839 Named for Casimir Pulaski The Tippecanoe River wanders through rich farmland inviting sandhill cranes and other waterfowl to flock to Pulaski County. Acreage is reserved by the state to protect wildlife and provide beautiful areas for hiking, camping, horseback riding, and other outdoor activities.
5. 92COUN_120811_030.JPG: Jasper County Organized in 1838 Named for William Jasper Located on the migratory route of the sandhill crane, each fall tens of thousands of the large, beautiful birds stop to rest in the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, a habitat already teaming with wildlife. Composer James H. Hanley, writer of the songs "Back Home Again in Indiana" and "Second Hand Rose," was born in Jasper County.
6. 92COUN_120811_039.JPG: Wayne County Organized in 1811 Named for Anthony Wayne National Old Trail Road in Wayne County is marked by the 18-foot-high Madonna of the Trail statue. The National Road was a primary route for immigration into Indiana and provided access to essential eastern markets for Hoosier companies. Two such companies, Gennett Records and Starr Piano, produced millions of records and thousands of pianos and phonographs during the first quarter of the 20th century.
7. 92COUN_120811_070.JPG: Spencer County Organized in 1818 Named for Spier Spencer Abraham Lincoln spent the formative years of his youth, age 7 through 21, in Spencer County. Referring to the rolling hills and shady forest of what is now Lincoln State Park, the great emancipator reminisced, "Here I grew up." Memorials in the county include the Lincoln cabin site and the grave of Abraham Lincoln's mother, Nancy.
8. 92COUN_120811_074.JPG: Wells County Organized in 1837 Named for William Wells Wells County uses 85 percent of its land for farming, soybeans being its most abundant crop. The quiet sprawling farmland does not hint at the history of the county's namesake, William Wells, who was captured by a Miami raiding party in 1784 and eventually became the warrior son-in-law of Chief Little Turtle.
9. 92COUN_120811_080.JPG: Noble County Organized in 1836 Named for James Noble A chain of nine lakes, naturally connected, provides a scenic avenue through Noble County's rich farmland for fishing and other water sports. They are part of a park called the Chain O'Lakes State Park.
10. 92COUN_120811_086.JPG: Hamilton County Organized in 1823 Named for Alexander Hamilton Hamilton County was once the home of the Delaware Native Americans. William Conner, an early trader, acquired land from the Delaware tribe and established a trading post on the White River. While recent years have seen southern Hamilton County develop into residential suburbs of Indianapolis, farming continues to dominate the northern portion of the county.
11. 92COUN_120811_098.JPG: Clinton County Organized in 1830 Named for DeWitt Clinton "Old Stoney" was opened in 1892 as a junior and senior high school. The building represents a rare combination of several architectural styles emulating a limestone, castle-like appearance. Six years after closing, "Old Stoney" reopened in 1980 as the home of the Clinton County Historical Society and Museum.
12. 92COUN_120811_104.JPG: Porter County Organized in 1836 Named for David Porter Indiana Dunes State Park, created in 1923 and joined in 1966 by Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, provides a 14,200-acre preserve for more than 1,400 species of plants and animals native to this county. Lake Michigan's beaches and dunes, many of which are part of the park system, offer a summer retreat for visitors and residents.
13. 92COUN_120811_110.JPG: Tipton County Organized in 1844 Named for John Tipton The farming communities in Tipton County produce quality crops of tomatoes, corn, soybeans, and apples. Local festivals celebrating country lifestyles include the annual Park Festival, which highlights the number of hogs produced in Tipton County each year.
14. 92COUN_120811_115.JPG: Sullivan County Organized in 1817 Named for Daniel Sullivan Coal has been mined in Sullivan County since 1816. Today, agriculture and coal continue to dominate the county's economy. The Greene-Sullivan State Forest, which encompasses more than 100 lakes and five campgrounds, is located on previously strip-mined land.
15. 92COUN_120811_120.JPG: Jefferson County Organized in 1811 Named for Thomas Jefferson Jefferson County is home to a great boulder-stewn canyon that sunlight can only penetrate at high noon. Moss and ferns cling to the cliffs along Clifty Creek where Big Clifty Falls drops 60 feet in its run to the Ohio River. In 1846, the county benefited form a railroad which cut through the limestone hills on a 1.3-mile incline, rising 311 feet per mile, one of the steepest standard gauge railroads ever built in the United States.
16. 92COUN_120811_127.JPG: Floyd County Organized in 1819 Named for Davis Floyd A popular site near New Albany, the limestone hills at Floyd's Knobs sit 900 to 1000 feet above sea level and 600 feet above the Ohio River. In 1867, New Albany was home to America's first plate glass factory, revolutionizing the glass industry and decreasing the nation's dependence on European glass.

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
