May 3rd - Polk County, Iowa

Our first trip to an Iowa county instead of a specific city yielded some great results. Firstly the weather was perfect for being outside, and secondly we were able to take photographs for not one but three different articles on Wikipedia! At this pace I'm sure we will be able to take care of those 1,300 or so articles needing photos in no time at all!

Well hopefully better late than never, here is the report and photos from our trip to Ankeny! Unfortunately both time and the weather were against us, but we both had a great time driving around town for a couple of hours in the afternoon taking pictures. We ended up with 13 usable shots from about 150 taken, and these have now been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons . In turn, 5 have been added to the Ankeny article on Wikipedia . Below are a couple of my favourites. Look for some hints on our next destination later in the week!
