Chicago Sunset From John Hancock Building

Violent Lake Michigan

I’m just about sick of WordPress. Far too many limitations. At any rate, if you want to see a decent storm video, just hit the hyperlink.

The tunnel that connects the Blue Line to the Red Line “El.” I’ve never walked through this passageway when it didn’t smell like urine. That does not stop musicians from playing this public venue. The acoustics make one of more sought after public performance spots in Chicago. I like this photo better than the second one even though it’s out of focus.

The tunnel, about a block long, that connects the Blue Line with the Red Line “El.” It’s an attractive structure, but smells like urine 24/7. You can usually find a musician, in this case, a young man with a five gallon plastic pickle bucket and drum sticks. The acoustics I’m told are outstanding.

I thought this was interesting sculpture for the top of a bus stop on in the middle of the city. Few people actually see it. Looks like a race to the death.

Cairo Illinois

The most desolate place I've known. It's a ghost town and one of the most fascinating locations I've visited. Having traveled in 42 states, I've never seen anything like it. The history here must be remarkable. It sits at the intersection of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
