The Rain Man better hustle or he'll miss the train

The statue is known as the "Rain Man." The artist is Miles Metzger and is located in Joshel Plaza just north of the Metra station in Geneva, Illinois.

Also, this is the first published shot from my Canon PowerShot S95. Last year, my previous "baby" camera, a PowerShot S60 died. I thought my cell phone camera would fill the need. It didn't. And since I'm beginning to travel again, I thought it was time to get a decent replacement. If you're wondering, I bought this one NOT because of the hype, but because it shoots RAW, opens up to f2.0, can be completely manual, and has manual focusing. Most of the other cameras in this category don't have those features. And it was on sale.
