The beach behind Fort Sheridan is a cold bleak patch of iron, rocks, and sand with
dense forest leading it off into the horizon. The birches are part of Fort
Sheridan's nature preserve and I think the trees in the background may
be in Lake Forest. It was late fall, so a few trees still retained some color.
It may not look like it, but I took these photos on the side of an almost-vertical
slope where I held onto a small dead fern so that I wouldn't plummet down to the
beach. Still worth it. The best photographs often require some sort of risk to take.
