Robert Myer writes: “I was in Oberlin to visit my sister a couple of summers ago and happened to drive past the square. The rock had been painted with the X-Files logo; I suspect it was in preparation for the release of the movie later that summer. I processed the photo to give it more of an eerie feel to the image.” Thanks, Robert, for sending in the photo.
