The Farm of Delbert and Ethel McCoy, Storm Lake, Iowa

I believe I took these photographs in the summer of 1979. Apparently, I climbed upon the roof of the corn crib for this point of view; I’m looking northward. None of this remains today, alas.

The three main buildings of the farm appear on this USGS map (from the same period). The farm was east of the lake itself, near Lakeside—of which my grandfather was mayor for a time.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken in the summer of 1979.

Watch out for deep dark woods, abandoned houses, and big fellas with hockey masks today. It may save your life... * * * #latergram #afieldbook #fridaythe13th #igmidwest #stormlake #stormlakeia #iowa #igersmidwest #igersusa #igiowa #igersiowa (at Frank Starr Park)

Sunrise at the Scandinavian Cemetery just outside of Alta. My grandparents rest here and also someone with my same name - it's always startling to see a tombstone with my name on it. * * * #altaiowa #iowa #afieldbook #igersmidwest #stormlakeia #sunrise #fog #naturelovers #travelaroundtheworld #instapassport #igbostontravelers (at Alta, Iowa)
