new year at the night bean

We spent New Year’s Day (also our 36th wedding anniversary) in Chicago! So grateful for my WordPress family and wishing you all the best for 2019!

Located on the right side of this image, the Tribune Tower is just one of the reasons Chicago is so photogenic!

the hammerstein ballroom

On our recent trip to New York we visited the Hammerstein Ballroom, located in the Manhattan Center, where we attended Hillsong Church. The Hammerstein Ballroom is a beautiful venue which hosts a variety of events and productions.

The pavilion with the funkiest name is also the most difficult to photograph, so, I decided to try a profile shot.

Let’s kick off 2018 with a view of Michigan Avenue, Chicago. If you can, you need to visit this oh so photogenic city, then, visit yours truly!

the L

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

and i think to myself…

…what a wonderful world…

“There is only one Lord of the Bean, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power.”

Put the pin down and walk away……s-l-o-w-l-y…..

look what the bean did

I wonder if Cloud Gate, a.k.a., The Bean, is the most photographed object in Chicago. I am pretty sure that you cannot exhaust the limitless possibilities this fascinating sculpture represents from a photographer’s perspective.
