Got a new scanner (epson 4490) which can do film, but all my pix from this roll are really out of focus (except this one, at least of the ones I've scanned so far)... I was playing around with calibrating the rangefinder the other day and I think I may have made it worse... but i would think that if it was a problem with the rangefinder close up pictures (like this) would be more out of focus than the pictures shot at infinity... which are almost all out of focus...
Built in 1866-1868, this Romanesque Revival-style building was constructed to house the First Presbyterian Church congregation, founded in 1828, and purchased the building from Third Presbyterian Church in 1876. The church most notably was the site of Mary Todd Lincoln’s funeral after her death in 1882. The building features a red brick exterior with roman arched bays containing stained glass windows and doors, romanesque machicolations, a rose window on the front gable, towers with low pyramidal hipped roofs, which replaced the original tall spires, steel reinforcing supports at the north and south facades, and an educational building on the west side of the building, at the rear of the sanctuary, added in 1928, which is clad in red brick with terra cotta trim. To the north of the historic building is a mid-20th Century two-story wing, which makes references to the architecture of the older sections of the complex in materials and the shape of the bays. The building is a contributing structure in the Central Springfield Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and expanded to its present size in 2016.
Built in 1897-1898, this Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by Francis T. Baron to serve as a Union Station for Springfield, Illinois. The station was a joint effort between the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O Railroad), Chicago, Peoria, and St. Louis Railroad (CP&StL), and Illinois Central Railroad, and later served the short-lived St. Louis, Peoria and North Western Railway. The station’s original 110 foot (34 meter) tall three-story tower was removed in 1946, ten years after the clock faces had been deactivated as a cost-saving measure during the Great Depression. It served as a passenger train station until 1971, when service was discontinued, in favor of Amtrak utilizing the through-running station along the Chicago and Alton Railroad lines, later known as the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad (GMO), just a few blocks to the west of the station. The building features a multi-colored brick exterior with dark red and light red bricks present alongside buff brick, stone trim, arched bays, a hipped roof, hipped dormers, a large canopy on the Madison Street facade with brick piers and large brackets, which was the former passenger platform alongside the railroad tracks, and a reconstructed tower with four turrets, a pyramidal hipped roof, and four clock faces. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. After passenger train service was discontinued, the building served as offices for the State of Illinois until 2004. Between 2004 and 2007, the building was restored to its original exterior appearance, with the reconstruction of the clock tower and restoration of historic exterior elements. Today, the building serves as the visitor center for the nearby Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.

Springfield Lake at sunset. I spent many years of my childhood on this lake. I learned to water ski, fish, skip rocks, ice skate, and launch a boat.
