I made a big step towards getting my private pilot license yesteday.  I flew out of Eagle Creek up to Metro to pick up Nathan for our lesson.  We did 0.5 hours of instrument time and I did 3 TOLs from a controls field (KAID).  The controller there was very dry, but he still cracked a joke.  The flight was nice. On the way back when I was just cruising, I got the phone out a snapped a few quick photos.  Here they are:
You can see Eagle Creek Resivoir in this shot, as well as Eagle Creek Airpark.
 
Here is a better shot of Eagle Creek, with 56th street in view.
 
The airport you can see in this photo is Indy Metro (KUMP).  It was about 10 minutes between the two.
