Danger in the Woods has never looked so inviting but don’t be fooled by its beauty as Danger is not far away. I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge. This sign needs to heed its own message.

My soul’s need to wonder led me to South Saint Paul Industrial area wanting to capture images that I normally would not photograph. I came upon this trash mountain of old wooden pallets waiting to be recycled into something new.
