The story behind the photograph

The Sangamon River winds through a corridor of snow-laden trees at Allerton Park and Retreat Center in Monticello, Illinois — the entire landscape rendered in near-monochrome white and silver-blue, the overcast sky merging almost seamlessly with the snow-covered bank, the dark open water of the river the only contrast in the frame. A bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) perches in the treetop, drawn to the open water on one of the finest winter river stretches in central Illinois.

A meaningful choice for an Illinois nature admirer, winter landscape lover, river enthusiast, or anyone who has walked a snow-covered river trail and felt the particular quiet of a woodland after a heavy snowfall.

Back of card: Blank, with the Midwest Wilderness Connections logo and the following description along the bottom edge: “Sangamon River in winter. Allerton Park and Retreat Center, Monticello, Illinois. — Midwest Wilderness Connections www.MidwestWildernessConnections.com”
