as seen in Chicago

I spent some time in Chicago with some of my colleagues today. Here is a bit of what I saw. First, falling presents at Macy’s.

 

Everyone knows that if you find yourself at Macy’s in Chicago during the Christmas season that a visit to The Walnut Room is not to be missed.

 

The Bean (Cloud Gate) is like a magnet for photographers. I was unable to resist.

 

I saw two stars and a bean.

 

It was a beautiful day with unusually warm weather for December.

 

The London House (center) and… well…you know.

 

The Chicago River looking particularly grand today.

Thanks for stopping buy!

the L

Short for “elevated”, Chicagoans are always talking about taking the “L” to this, or, that destination.

the daily bread

Recently enjoyed an evening in Chicago with my bride featuring a wonderful meal and experience at Le Pain Quotidien, “the daily bread.” If you are ever in our fair city be sure to check it out!

black and white canyon

I hope to return to the Grand Canyon someday, if only to spend more time learning how to photograph it! I am finding it challenging to find shots that I like as well as working with those shots. What I really want to do, however, is go into that canyon! Hike anyone?

take flight

Santa Barbara… a rare, cloudy, gray California day… seagulls… black and white… that’s all I got. Have a great week!

snow canyon state park

Snow Canyon State Park, Ivins, UT. Our favorite stop from our recent trip out west.

just past jerome

One our way to Sedona, Arizona, we had the fortunate pleasure of driving through an incredible mountain road with hairpin curves and beautiful views. This was taken just past Jerome, Arizona.

just needs a new seat

The interior of one of the trucks at Salvation Mountain in California. It’s a bit of a fixer upper, but, I am sure a good mechanic will have no trouble. Thanks for stopping buy.

joshua tree

We are almost done with our southwest adventure, so I thought I would post a picture from today’s trip through Joshua Tree National Park. More to come. Thanks for stopping by.
