Taken from a second hot air balloon this shot shows a hot air balloon in the distance with a slight glow at sunrise. It is hard to stay calm when you are in a basket 4,000 feet up in the air.

An old gravestone from the 1840s at a beautiful old cemetery with 20 head stones. They must have selected this little hill as a burial sight because of the great sunsets.
Taken from the highest point in Illinois this is a view just before sunset on a beautiful evening. This is a prime location for storm watching and lightning shots.

It was my son's birthday and the staff was extra kind. We loved the room with the view. The only bummer was that the hot tub wasn't working in February 2026 and the pool was cold. We did like playing in the game room and the proximity to the art museums.
