Calling All Amateur Photographers: Share Your Lemont Pics!

If a picture says a thousand words, then Lemont Patch wants to write a novel.

We're looking for pictures of Lemont that capture the culture of a community, share a beautiful scene, or tell a story.

So, hey, local shutterbugs: Get snapping and then upload your photos by clicking the upload photos and videos button to the right. (Be sure to add a caption so that we know where you took it and what it's of!)

The best photos will be used for features like "Pic of the Day," "Where in Lemont?" and "Delicious Mystery."

Here are the kind of pictures we're hoping for from Lemont photographers, whether you're using a smartphone or a professional camera:

• Food photos from local restaurants
• Landscapes, such as sunsets and views of the marina
• Pictures of local nature, including flowers and trees
• Lemont event photos
• Pictures that capture life in Lemont

All photos will be attributed to the photographer and may be used in future Patch articles.

How would you describe Lemont in a single photo, or a dozen? Upload and show us!
