Another shot from the interior of the Field Museum in Chicago before I post a few shots from some of the exhibits.

The Chicago Field Museum is worth visiting for its exhibits and opportunities for learning, as well as for the grandeur of its architecture and the sheer size of the building.

My colleaugues and I went to Chicago last week to celebrate the birthday of our lead pastor. We spent some time at the Field Museum and then went to Daley Plaza to enjoy Christkindlmarket Chicago. Took lots of shots and I will be posting a few of them here over the next week or so. Hope you enjoy.

Spent some time in Chicago this past Wednesday with my colleagues and ran across this in the lobby of a building. I wish I took more time to take photos of this because the reflective surfaces would be fun to work with.

Many of my images come from bicycle rides along the Illinois River. We live just 50 miles from the city of Chicago, and a bicycle ride 25 mores miles west brings me to the riverside city of Marseilles, IL. I have taken the ride many times, but on my most recent trip I discovered an old damn of some sort in a small canal near an abandoned building. I love old, abandoned “stuff”, so the next few images are from my recent “discovery.” Hope you enjoy.

Don’t know the name of this building, but this is another good example of why I think the windy city is very photogenic.

The Jay Pritzker Pavillion is a fascinating member of the cast of structures and features at beautiful Millennium Park in Chicago. It is a stunning, modern, captivating band shell that adds to the dynamic life and attraction of this amazing park.
