Illinois

Most people presume Chicago when they here of Illinois. And that's understandable, since about 85% of the state population is in the Chicago metro area. But we're about 250 miles from Chicago, and most of those miles look more like this!

You emphasized this sky so beautifully...really like how low the horizon line is here.

Wonderful bw

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I live in IL...the part that looks exactly like this, which means obviously I'm not in Chicago.

Great black and white, cool sky.

A wonderful image. Good narrative too.

This certainly is a great contrast to Chicago

I lived in Macomb as a child and never really thought of Chicago much!

Ominous sky!

It's a scene I'm familiar with. Love how the sky dominates. Fave And great in black and white. I grew up in the Chicago area, then raised my kids in southern Illinois; Marion.
