Scales Mound, IL

Travel Guide

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.

A picture of the eclipse at sunset from last year at Charles Mound which is the highest point in Illinois.
