If you're not already familiar with Orion Magazine, I recommend it. Their beat is "Nature/Culture/Place" and they publish essays, poetry, and short fiction. They have a feature in the magazine and online called The Place Where You Live, which invites readers to submit a short essay/story that reflects on what they love about where they live. They recently posted my submission, which is about canoeing the Milwaukee River Greenway and the Urban Water Trail. The story is accompanied by six of my photographs (two of which you see here.) Check it out by clicking here.
You can read a longer version of this story, which was published in Waterkeeper Magazine, and see more photos on my website.
