 A lot of us come from a town we hate as kids and later as teenagers. We then hop the first bus out and never look back. For me that was Waukegan (which is the old Chippewa Indain word for "Look, someone dumped a couch in the ravine!") Well, I had to look back, but just long enough to catch this picture. My last entry was uberPhotoshopped. This one was simply cropped, auto-adjusted, increased by 15 in brightness and 5 in contrast and then unsharp masked by 150%.

Is that a cemetery behind? If so - what a welcome. Colors are nice except the bald white sky detracts.

Ha! Lived there in 1972. Moved on base at Great Lakes. It's dead there? Is that why the cemetery? LOL I've been in worse places. The sky is a bit blown out in this shot, but not bad. Good luck in the challenge.
