Description

I photographed this decomposing tree trunk in October on a hike through Johnsons Mound in Elburn, Illinois. According to the Kane County Forest Preserve District, Johnson's Mound is a heavily wooded classic example of a stratified gravel hill known as a KAME, which was deposited by glacial ice and water some 10,000 years ago. This kame is a prominent feature on our mid-county landscape, rising 50 feet above the surrounding tributaries of Blackberry Creek and the glacial outwash plain.
