Welcome to the illustrations page of AlexiusHoratius. This page contains the photographs I have taken, tables I have made, and maps and photographs I have uploaded.
[edit] Photography
As you can see, I am by no means a quality photographer. Most of these photographs were taken in an attempt to fill a void on wikipedia. For instance, the article on Sioux Falls had few pictures and no skyline photograph for the infobox. Some of these are not very good, but a few turned out better than expected.

[edit] Uploads
I found the below maps and photographs on the internet. In other words, I did not make these maps nor did I take the pronghorn photograph. All of these were made by some arm of the United States Government, and therefore are in the public domain. I also uploaded the Seal of the City of Sioux Falls, which appears in that article's infobox, but as it is likely under copyright, I didn't want to put an extranious copy of the seal here.
