MIDWEST — Since we've added other Midwest states outside of Illinois to our photo seeking project, the images that have come in are even more incredible. But an Illinois shot did once again finish as the top photo of the week, as Jenna Drew submitted one of a storm brewing over her farm in Manhattan.

To have your image featured in a future Patch photo gallery, send it to tim.moran@patch.com. Make sure the photo you send is one you've taken personally and know that by sending it as part of this callout you are allowing Patch to use it on all of its platforms. Include a brief description of the photo, including where it was taken, and include your name for credit.
