The night didn't disappoint. Everything that makes a Chili Bowl exciting. Stormy weather, The Wildcats and the Ironmen, lots of fans and an oblong ball that takes funny bounces. Yes, they were all there tonight. The Wildcats took the Ironmen at home and will get to place the Chili Bowl in their trophy case till next year. I don't have a lot of stats or side notes. I haven't a clue how many yards Edwards ran for the Iron or what happened to Jefferson just before the half. I do know the Cats returned to the field after the break and Alex didn't show up till later on the back of the squad cart under a blanket - padless. It did appear to be an injury to his leg. I'm sure there will be more known tomorrow.
Chili Bowl pictures will be available at Alan Look Photography later this weekend.
John Power covered the Central Catholic slaying of Pontiac tonight. His photos will be available in a few days as well.

Hot air create energy
Just east of Bloomington Normal is the Twin Grove Wind Farm. This electricty producing farm is the largest in the nation and has just started the paces of getting larger. It's also the subject of many people with cameras. I don't go out there very often that I don't run into someone else stopped along side on of the blacktops taking photos.
I first went out there a few years back when they were still installing the turbines. they basically are built using 3 components - 3 prop blades, the turbine housing and a multi-part stand. All is trucked in from a rail yard. The trucks are so long that they had to build very large corners on all the roads so the trucks wouldn't be dragging the back end through the ditch.
There are so many mills in this field it's really hard to figure out what to shoot and also pretty hard to not get at least one good shot if you stick around for a hour or so. Last night, there were some scattered clouds and I got there a couple hours before sundown. The light wasn't awesome but was just getting there. Use of a gradient neutral density filter did help with bluing up the sky.
