While driving the wildlife loop road in Custer State Park, South Dakota we were stopped by a herd of bison crossing the road. I took this picture of the lead bison from my car, and was happy that my side mirrors were still in place after they passed.

I took this photo when my wife and I visited Niagara Falls during a trip to Canada last month. This view shows the lip of the American Falls with Horseshoe Falls in the background. If you look real close, you can see the Maid-of-the-Mist boat below the falls.

At Brookfield Zoo, several sea lions swam in laps around a large rock. They always surfaced at the same point in the pool and then dived back down and swam another lap again. I captured the moment that this sea lion emerged, flipped, and splashed his way back under water for another loop around the pool.
Angela Cichosz of Carol Stream
A burning sunset appears after a storm last spring in Mundelein.
Aurelia M. Spicuzza of Mundelein
This photo was taken at the 2015 Geneva "Concours d'Elegance", a fantastic collection of award-winning, unique and rare automobiles. A very fancy "shiny and new" looking, 1931 Pierce Arrow Club Sedan, hood ornament caught my eye!
