Trump Chicago

Girl descending the stairs

I was just going through some old shots from my Chicago trip and found this and the Trump Tower shot.

Flags over the Chicago River

Here's a leftover shot from my Chicago trip.

Reflections

I think this one below looks like a face... something from Halloween?


This one looks like Chinese language characters.

Big Rack

The face on the monolith

Lake Shore Drive, Chicago

The Hancock Building

Talks with his hands

Cloud Gate

The crown jewel of Chicago's Millennium Park, Anish Kapoor's "Cloud Gate".

The Drake

The Drake Hotel in Chicago is a grand old hotel... I like it a lot except that the Internet blows. We have Ethernet in the room as well as Wi-Fi but it so slow it's like dial-up. It's been driving me crazy for days.

Chicago Sights

We went to see "Blue Man Group" this evening. I recommend it... what a blast.

Chicago Art

The MCA was between shows and had basically nothing to see.


The Art Institute had one big show I wanted to see... photography of Jeff Wall, but after seeing it I was disappointed. Not for me thanks. But as usual, the permanent collection overwhelms.



Yes, it's a monkey.

Tarmac Dawn

I was on a really early flight to Chicago this morning. It always seems that when I get off of a plane early in the morning I see something I want to photograph. Fortunately I always have my little Fuji in my pocket ready to go. I shot this in about 10 seconds before walking into O'Hare.

Room for dessert

In Chicago, I had a great meal which ended with this. I think it was even better than this.

Garfield Park Conservatory

In Chicago, I spent a little time in the Garfield Park Conservatory.

Flying to Chicago

A few random views from United Express, Charleston to Chicago.

The gold-leaf dome of the West Virginia State Capitol stands out in the setting sun.

Crossing the Ohio River. That plume at the bottom is something burning... not sure what.
