the Bean
Called the Bean because of it’s shape, Cloud Gate has become the signature sculpture of Millenium Park along the lakeshore opposite the grand Chicago skyline. The bean makes an appearance in the movie Source Code. You can read about this amazing sculture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Gate
the sea
- I know I am biased, but new York does have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Not that I have been to many, but enough to know that my bias is true. This was taken at Jones Beach, New York. I grew up 15 minutes from this beach on the southern shore of Long Island. I have long since tried to stop understanding it, but I know that I am never more at rest, and at peace, when I am at the shore. The ocean has a way of making you feel small, and that’s a good thing. I have many wonderful memories of family and fun at this beach, and each time I go home to NY to visit my folks I go to Jones Beach, be it Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. I also dedicate this image to a dear friend who has taken some of the most beautiful shore pictures that I have ever seen.

- I love riding my Trek bicycle to a park on the banks of the Illinois River about 10 miles from my home. This was taken at that park. Trees are amazing.
Blue Ice
This was taken a few years ago in South Haven, MI. There is a beautiful lighthouse there and it is one of my favorite places to go.
Deli Work
Taken in a deli near the WTC Memorial. New York delis are in a class all their own. Delis in New York have individual personalities, attitude and AMAZING food.
Stop
I am not quite sure that the train obeyed the sign. Taken at the LaSalle Street Station in Chicago.
Millenium Park
Chicago is such a photogenic city! Millenium Park is an amazing urban refuge of fun, music, art, gardens and entertainment. This is a picture of the famous Crown Fountain. You can read about it here.
Tranquil
A tranquil moment on the Illinois river.
