jay pritzker revisited

jay pritzker pavilion 3

Hope you are not getting too tired of all these Chicago images! This is the Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park, Chicago. I have officially given this crazy pavilion the title of “the most difficult location/structure/….thing to photograph…. in the universe!”  I have a couple of other images of this pavilion here and here. The beautiful, asymmetrical design of the architecture, along with the network of tubes that are suspended above the grassy area to hold the speakers for the sound system, all create a “busy” location to try and photograph. Still, it is a beautiful pavilion, and serves as a centerpiece of the recreational and concert life of Chicago.

This is the amazing suspension rope bridge at Maggie Daley Park in Chicago. This park is a stunning play place for kids. The bridge is a wonder to see, play in, slide down from and walk on!

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.

Black and white challenge #3. This was taken last year beneath downtown Manhattan, NY. Be sure and visit Darwin on the Rocks and Around the World  (my challenger) where you will find stunning images from her travels around the world.  I am posting a black and white image each day for 5 days – some old and some new – and inviting another blogger to do the same.

Today I challenge the gifted Lignum Draco to join the fun. His blog is full of amazing images from the land down under. He has many delightful black and white street photography images. Check it out!

Here are the rules:

1.Post a different black and white photo of yours each day for five consecutive days.

2. Nominate a fellow blogger on each day to continue the challenge. See you tomorrow for the next post.

Cheers!
