In this beautiful capture by Tom Gill, we see a silhouette of the Chicago skyline as seen from the top of a tall dune at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.

The national lakeshore runs for nearly 25 miles (40 km) along the southern shore of Lake Michigan, from Griffith, Indiana, on the west to Michigan City, Indiana on the east. The park contains approximately 15,000 acres (6,100 ha).

Chicago, a city in the U.S. state of Illinois, is the third most populous city in the United States.

SPEAKING OF PICTURES … Soldier Cartoonist Portrays Wolf In GI Clothing. Along with the Jeep, the robot bomb and Spam, the wolf in GI clothing will become one of the historical mementos of WWII. The most amusing testimonial to this wartime phenomenon is a dead-pan cartoon character who has been entertaining service men for a year and a half. His name is The Wolf. His face is familiar. The brainchild of S/Sgt. Leonard Sansone, The Wolf has become a veteran soldier in his 18 months in the Army. He has had the complete training program, has been shipped overseas and has seen action. But his attitude toward a two-day pass remains essentially the same. Cartoonist Sgt.
