I've seen many good things this summer. Many strange kinds of beauty. North Dakota does hold an odd, empty sort -- the kind that demands you take notice of it, simply because there is nothing else to take your attention. This was a summer, I have decided, of many colors. Right now, with the vaguely threatening -- yet also strangely fascinating -- semester beginning, this picture I took out the train somehow summarizes the strange blend of excitement and fear I feel as I am into my final semester at Dordt. Very strange indeed.
