inside the hammerstein ballroom

And this is what it looked like inside the Hammerstein Ballroom when we attended a worship service at Hillsong Church: great music, practical teaching, in an amazing venue.

lonely crown fountain

Normally filled with kids, laughter, water, and, splashing, this is a lonely Crown Fountain in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

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.

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?
