This long exposure photo was taken from my front yard at 5:00 am on a foggy morning. In Carol Stream on North Avenue, there is a subdivision of townhouses. There is a gazebo there that is visible from where I live during the winter months. I can see the gazebo if I look out the window straight across the street between the two houses across from me. It was well-lit this morning, and the fog underneath it made it look spooky. Angela Cichosz of Carol Stream
