Pine Village is a tiny spot in the Midwest, which still sprays a lot of charm. The quiet country roads and open fields give you plenty of space to try your camera. I like the city because it almost works like an open studio – hardly people, much natural light. If you follow Sightseeing in Pine Village search, you will quickly notice that each corner offers a potential picture material.
I plan to snap the picture that captures the mood of the city – from the first lights to the deep blue night. The Civil Twilight is ideal to catch the city lights when the sun just disappears under the horizon. For warm, soft light I set on the Golden Hour; the keyword Golden Hour helps me keep the lighting in mind. The sunset over the few but striking buildings provides dramatic silhouettes – a real one Sunset-Moment.
The Blue Hour is my favorite time window for long term exposures; the cool blue makes the lights emerge particularly. The map tool, which is integrated under this text on this side of poi‐travel.de, shows you the position of the sun and gives you the azimuth values so that you can plan the direction exactly.
The Landmark Old Academy Park is the heart of Pine Village – a restored 19th school building Century, surrounded by a small lawn. The brick building looks particularly impressive when the light of the Golden Hour dips the facade into warm gold. Visitors can enter the property for free throughout the year; the best photo times are early in the morning or shortly after sunset when the light falls gently over the brick.
Rommel Park is a small green area with a small pond that is perfect for reflections. The combination of water, trees and the small pavilion makes the place a versatile Landmark for landscape and detail. Especially after a slight rain, fascinating reflections arise, which almost magically appear in the Blue Hour.
This nature reserve is a true oasis for bird and landscape photography. The wide fields, isolated tree groups and the occasional emergence of wild birds offer numerous photo opportunities. In the Civil Twilight, the long shadows show the terrain particularly dramatic.
Another Landmark-area known especially for its wide, slightly wavy meadows. The open landscape makes the light appear particularly soft during the Golden Hour, ideal for silhouettes of trees and grasses. The place is not visited, so you almost have the whole field for yourself.
The Gesswein area is a mix of damp moor and dry hills – an interesting contrast for photography. Especially in autumn, when the foliage becomes red and gold, a colourful image is created. The light conditions during the Civil Twilight emphasize the texture of the moor.
A rather unknown but very photogenic area with muddy paths and dense jaws. The combination of dark underwood and bright lights is perfect for the game with shade during the Blue Hour. The Landmark is especially popular with nature photographers because it is rarely overrun.
Crow’s Grove is a small but charming grove that offers a purple and gold color play in autumn. The trees form a natural framework that is well suited for portraits or detailed images. During the Golden Hour the light throws long, warm rays through the branches – a real photo standpoint.
Pine Village may be small, but the Sightseeing in Pine Village offer enough variety for any type of photography – from city lights to wide fields to quiet forest lighting. Pack your camera, use the map tool for the position of the sun and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere that makes photography a real pleasure here.
With the map tool, you can plan the ideal location for a photo online in advance – taking into account the sun's path and the surroundings.
Here's how it works:
Advantage:
You can assess light, perspective and location before visiting the site – ideal for photography, sunrises and sunsets.
To find the exact point where the sun disappears behind the skyline, use the azimuth display on poi-travel.de. In Pine Village, the sun travels further northwest below the horizon in summer, while in winter it takes a more southwesterly angle. With the embedded line on the map, you can determine your tripod position down to the metre.

Just a short drive to the south is Attica. There is an old railway track lined by rusty thresholds – perfect for contrasting shots when the light breaks through the trees. The city looks a bit neglected, but that gives the images character.
However, Winamac is not just a name on the map. The Tippecanoe River stretches through a valley that almost surreal looks at dawn. A few old wooden bridges that lead over the river offer nice frames for silhouettes.
Rochester has a small but fine historical district. The brick buildings with their slightly sloping facades sometimes seem like a set of films from the 30s. If you're lucky, a passing train catches the light.
Nevertheless, a trip to Delphi is worth it. There's an old court building overwhelmed by Efeu. The combination of classical architecture and wild nature is an interesting contradiction.
A short trip to Lafayette brings you to a more urban environment. The skyline in the evening, when the lights start flickering, has something calming. And the nearby Wabash River Trails offer long, straight paths that are well suited for long-term exposures.
In short, Crawfordsville has a few abandoned factory buildings that are sown by Graffiti. This is not for everyone, but for Street-Photography a real place of discovery.
If you want to go further, try the little town of Brazil. There's an old airfield that's hardly used today. The empty runways and runways look almost like a huge open studio.
Logansport is located at the confluence of several rivers. The bridges there, especially at sunset, cast long shadows on the water – a classic motif that never gets boring.
