Taken moments before The Bean swallowed me whole. I had enough time to take this shot, grab the SD card and throw it to freedom. I then snapped my shutter three times while saying, “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.” That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Not much of a challenge here, but I have to find some way to justify sharing all these picture of The Bean 🙂 Just one more after this one…. I promise.
Welcome to the 1st of 3 “where’s carlos?” images featuring the always fun and crazy Cloud Gate, a.k.a., The Bean. First prize for the correct answer is….well……. …..actually….. I don’t have any prizes. The bragging rights, however, are yours!
This was taken at Maggie Daley Park in Chicago. This is an amazing urban play-scape featuring this remarkable suspension rope bridge, and other typical park activities in a modern, beautifully designed setting. A must see if you ever visit Chicago!
Technically speaking, this would be looking right up into the nostrils of the face from the previous post.
Taken just moments before this giant head gobbled up those poor people, who were just minding there own business, out for a stroll on a sunny day in Chicago. Oh the humanity!!!
Back to Millennium Park for this post. Chicago is a remarkable city to experience as a photographer. I hope to take some more time this year to enjoy the architecture and parks of the Windy City.

My first post features the beautifully stunning St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Last year I was in NY with my oldest son and we spent a day in the city. This amazing structure is undergoing a complete restoration on the inside and out. We were greeted with a dizzying array of scaffolding all around the interior of the sanctuary.
