Trump Tower – Chicago, IL

I have been pretty busy lately and it has been getting darker earlier so there has not much time to get out and take photos.  So I decided to revisit Chicago.  No, I didn’t go back I just spent some time going through the photos I took when I was there last month I found this one that I like, but didn’t bother to process the first time through.  Here is a “looking up” photo of the Trump Tower.

Downtown Walkabout – Chicago, IL

I did do some more exploring in Chicago other than spending time at the Cloud Gate.  I had every intention of seeing everything in the downtown area, but alas one can only accomplish so much in three hours.  In any event, I tried to make the best of it, and here are some photos form my stops along the way.

I walked over the Frank Gehry designed “BP Bridge” that connected Millennium Park with an adjacent park.  Here are a couple of pictures of the bridge with the city in the backdrop.

Cloud Gate – Millennium Park – Chicago, IL

Last weekend I was in Chicago for the American Society for Radiation Oncology’s multidisciplinary thoracic oncology meeting.  It was a good conference.  There was lots of good science and medicine presented in the meeting, but after two and a half days in an air-conditioned hotel I really needed to get outside and see some of the city.  The conference finished up on Saturday mid-day and my return flight was not until the early evening so I went on a personal photowalk around the downtown area.

First stop was Millennium Park.  I had been there a couple of times before, but only briefly on both occasions.  I had a great time walking around and through the “Cloud Gate” sculpture (below), and watching people interact with it.  It is like the ultimate fun house mirror, outdoors, and open to everyone.
