ACROSS ILLINOIS — Another great set of images from across Illinois (and one from Wisconsin this week) are ready to be shared with you this weekend. A number of regular Patch readers send us photos every week, with the one who sends the best one having bragging rights as the photographer of the week. This week, that's Cheryl Prescott who took a spectacular image in front of the Tivoli in Downers Grove.

To have your image featured here next week, email it to Tim Moran at tim.moran@patch.com. Make sure the photo you send is one you have taken personally and own the rights to. Include in your email a brief description of the photo and include where it was taken. We are now hoping to include all images from Illinois photographers, even ones taken out of state.

Most of the captions below were written by the photographers.
