Message of the Day – A Swing
I don't know why tire swings attract my eye. It happens when there is weird weather.
First during a blinding snow storm across from Crystal Lake's Dole Mansion.
Last Saturday and the Saturday before last right south of Cornish Park on the Fox River in Algonquin.While the ones this winter were swaying in the wind, the one in Algonquin wasn't moving.
But it was suspended above the swiftly running Fox River.

Message of the Day – A Tire
This one was swinging in a blizzard-like wind across the street from the northeast corner of the Dole Mansion, also known as Lakeside Center when I picked up my son from his Mad Scientist rocket building class this afternoon at 4:40.The wind was so hard that the tire was swinging back and forth, back and forth…seemingly all by itself.
Like a pendulum in a grandfather clock.
Enlarge the photos by clicking on them and you can see the angle of the rope.
