I like your macro Cicada shot (I have a weak spot for macro photography). I used to do a tons of sports photography here at NIU and I'll see if I can find any of my old shots.

Also, when I started driving gas was 1.34 a gallon. I remember driving 20 miles to buy gas for 1.50 when the price was 1.70 my senior year of high school.

The first three were actually published in a art museum. And the first one will be published on a post card for the city of West Bend.

St. Louis Arch last year. I realize that is only a link. I tried the img tags, but it says the picture is too wide and I'm too lazy to resize it.

^ Yes, the Mini-golf place has been closed for years (I think at least 5 now). Its on Sheridan Road, just south of Wadsworth Road in Beach Park, IL.

I used to go there all the time as a kid. When I lived in Zion, I used to drive by it every day going to work. It is sad to see what has happened to the place.


To keep things moving, here are some pictures that I took this summer.

^No because the places I find to take pics of the car at are usually side-streets nobody uses. Those fall pics were shot by an abandoned Gelatin Factory in Grayslake, and near Warren Cemetery in Gurnee.
