A small town in Jay County Indiana; I lived here when I was younger... I got this strange feeling when I took a walk around town; I felt as if I was forgotten even though I'd known everyone and had so many memories.

    “Indiana”
    God crowned her hills with beauty,
    Gave her lakes and winding streams,
    Then He edged them all with woodlands
    As the settings for our dreams.
    Lovely are her moonlit rivers,
    Shadowed by the sycamores,
    Where the fragrant winds of Summer
    Play along the willowed shores.
    I must roam those wooded hillsides,
    I must heed the native call,
    For a Pagan voice within me
    Seems to answer to it all.
    I must walk where squirrels scamper
    Down a rustic old rail fence,
    Where a choir of birds is singing
    In the woodland...green and dense.
    I must learn more of my homeland
    For it's paradise to me,
    There's no haven quite as peaceful,
    There's no place I'd rather be.
    Indiana...is a garden
    Where the seeds of peace have grown,
    Where each tree, and vine, and flower
    Has a beauty...all its own.
    Lovely are the fields and meadows,
    That reach out to hills that rise
    Where the dreamy Wabash River
    Wanders on...through paradise.

    "I bleed blue & gold" Great twilight zone feel to the shot.
