    Chicago revisited

    After the good time we had last weekend with the "COOL PEOPLE" we decided to make a trip back down to Chicago during the day. We (Me , Wife, Mom, Kid) took the train friday morning from Kenosha to Chicago. Then proceeded to walk around the city. What great weather for the end of November!!!

    Here are the highlights of the tour. Unfortunately we were on a time limit and we a bit rushed to see what we wanted to.

    Sign I see on our walk from the station to Mich. Ave.



    My most favorite building in Chicago



    The bean again at Millennium Park



    Here we all are standing under the bean looking up at the center of it



    More of the bean ... this thing is amazing .. see it from a different view everytime you go!!



    This shot I liked how the shadows of the other buildings surrounded the fire escape down the side of the building...



    My 2nd favorite building ... I believe it is the Wrigley building again .. This time from a different angle ...



    Another sign on the way to Navy Pier - I think a person could spend the day shooting signs in Chicago ...



    Not sure where this came from ... but it was really cool .. the thing is just huge!! The "spikes" are about 8 foot long



    A shot of Navy Pier



    Here is one of my favorite shots of the day .. My mom actually got a shot of me taking this shot... Can't wait to see how that turned out



    The reflections in the buildings were amazing ...



    Last shot on the walk back to the train station to head back home ...

    Great looking shots, the weather was really good for the time of year. I really like the last shot, of all the builds in the shadows.

    Nice pics, Ben. Kenosha, eh? I had some good friends that lived there, and one of the times I was in Chicago in years past I took a day off to take the train there and visit them...
