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.
