N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago

2008.07.20

This is a water sculpture that kept visually changing faces.

Occasionally it spit out at the crowd!

Affectionately known as "The Bean"

These ladies dressed for their Sunday stroll through the park

So did she

Couldn't be in "The Land of Lincoln" without meeting Abe himself!

The concert stage in the park



Flags along the Michigan Avenue Bridge

Looking east down the Chicago River - toward Lake Michigan

Jen and a new friend

The Chicago Tribune

I happen to love fountains

Pretty fountains and flowers all over the city!

These were up and down Michigan Avenue

King Lear


A bride and groom crossing Michigan Avenue

The Wrigley Building and the new - still under construction - Trump Tower in the background





Looking west onto the Chicago River

The Michigan Avenue bridge and the Chicago Tribune Tower on the left

Walking along the river

Sitting for a drink along the river

:)

My first trip to Chicago with my friend Jen.

The concierge at the Hotel Monaco recommended we begin our day at Millenium Park. We then worked our way up N. Michigan Avenue, just a bit. What a wonderful surprise it was. Thanks Ryan. :)
