You're right, they don't.

It was really nice (IMO). Today is the same too. I need to get out and grab some more pics.

I snapped this one this afternoon when it started to get foggy. This is off of Butterfield Rd, west of Rt. 59. Its probably the last farm in DuPage County. haha

I've lived all around the country, but here are my shots around Springfield, where I grew up (I'm no photographer, mind you!). A couple of them aren't mine.

A house that looks like it's swimming in a field:



Two shots of a cemetery near my parents' house:





The old state capitol building:



The new state capitol building:



The inside of the rotunda:



Lincoln's Home:



The Governor's Mansion (with a lack of governor therein):



Downtown from the NW:



Downtown at night:



Over the city after a storm (actually taken from the State-Journal Register):



All in all, not a bad city.

Stev-o I just love that one from Waterfall Glen. You know I've worked at Argonne for 5 months and never actually walked around there. I had no idea it was so beautiful. Actually reminds me of Missouri.
