Haven't been home in nearly a year+ and not to the city in more than 2....always great to see downtown like that...

2. Greatest Page for your beautiful, poignant photos, my dear Itchinjim!

These are just lovely. Chicago is very photogenic!

The Union Station columns are especially fine! I love the reflections.

Thanks for sharing!

9. Thanks Peggy,

The columns are my favorite too. I shot them with a Samsung S7. Im finding that my phone os almost as good as my big Nikons. Not as versatile, but a very good camera indeed

3. Very cool. I love cityscapes!

My son was in Chicago last spring on business, and they had a group photo taken standing in front of the big bean.

I remember when I was little, tall buildings used to remind me of waffles.

4. Nice!

What's the Bean? Wasn't there, when I lived there!

6. Its given name is "Cloud Gate", but is more commonly known as "The Bean"

because it resembles a giant chrome kidney bean. It's a people magnet and it draws crowds at all hours. It is truly a happy place.

5. Union Station Sleeper

I dream I'm in a station
waiting for my ride.
I imagine a fine train compartment
with a bed and leather seat.
But it may be a bus,
I'm not sure,
nothing comes.
The sunlight through the high station windows
makes shadow patterns on the floor.
Just like yesterday and the day before.
I wait.
The curved oaken benches are my bed.
I no longer worry about the madmen who roam at night.
The morning yawns,
people stir,
nothing comes.

7. Beautiful.
