About Decatur and its setting
Decatur sits in Macon County on the Sangamon River, in the flat farmland of central Illinois. The city grew around agriculture and manufacturing and is often called the Soybean Capital of the World because of the crop grown across the surrounding fields. The landscape is open prairie, with wide skies that make weather easy to follow from a distance. Decatur is a practical base for exploring the middle of the state rather than a destination in its own right.
What the camera shows
The view is a live stream from wcia.com, so the image depends on the position and framing chosen by its owner. Because the surrounding country is flat, clouds, storms and changing light are usually the most interesting things to watch. Mornings and late afternoons bring softer light, while summer evenings often bring thunderstorms that build quickly across the plains. Check the live weather block on this page to see conditions alongside the picture.
