Images: An Hour in Wood Dale

I spent one hour -- no more, no less -- roaming around Wood Dale photographing things that caught my eye. The obvious and the obscure, big stuff and small. But all identifiable to Wood Dale.

Look for a new town gallery every Sunday at dailyherald.com/galleries and on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
