Characterized by it's canyons, Starved Rock State Park in Illinois is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the state. In addition to the park's natural beauty, it's also a very important historical site, with several individual attractions being on the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological digs have shown the area to have been inhabited as far back as 8000 BC.

Go West

Well, west-ish. This road doesn't go exactly west, and winds around a bit on it's way to DeKalb.

This would have been a cooler shot if I had a more interesting car, something like a Kaiser Manhattan or a Ford Model A.

Neon Sunset

Another week, another Neon Friday!

I seem to have developed a thing for old motel signs-I've got several in my collection of images. This one no longer works-the top part has since fallen over and the whole thing is tipped over, and there's broken glass on the other side. Pity because I'd like to see the neon sunset all lit up.

I can't tell if "Neon Sunset" would be a good name for a band or a short story.
