I faved The Lone Runner by Mickey B. Photography http://flic.kr/p/bjbUpaThis is the Illinois Prairie path looking west towards downtown Glen Ellyn. It was after 10pm when I took this shot. I had actually been down shooting pictures of the one lane tunnel that goes underneath the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks (Taylor Avenue) and the Prairie Path goes right above. I trekked up the embankment to the Prairie Path bridge. I looked east down the path and I thought I saw a light off in the distance. “Impossible”, I thought to myself. “It’s ten o’clock at night. This trail is snowy and icy. It’s dark, cold and foggy. There’s no way that’s a person running.” I stood there for a few minutes watching the little light off in the distance bounce up and down like it was attached to someone. It got brighter and closer. Sure enough, it was a woman out for a late night run. As she approached me, she said hello and nothing more. As she trudged through the snow with steam emitting from her mouth and kicking up snow from her shoes, I fired off a few shots. I hope that she reads this, because I think that this shot came out pretty awesome. Thank you… whoever you are! Glen Ellyn, Illinois January 2012
