Some random images from Chicago
I managed to steal a couple of hours to walk around Chicago yesterday afternoon. Within about six blocks of Dearborn Street I saw a 50 ft Picasso sculpture, a 40 ft Miro, the world’s tallest church, a ten-ton Dubuffet sculpture, Mies Van der Rohe’s Federal Center Complex and a handful of very interesting skyscrapers including the sweeping Chase Tower (formerly Bank One Plaza).
My little Canon Powershot can’t do any of these buildings justice (hence the links above). Taking this photograph of the 3,000 square foot Chagall mosaic Four Seasons at the foot of Chase Tower seemed easy by comparison, and was made all the more rewarding when I noticed this amusing detail below.

It is nice you shareing with US only a cost of internet access.
Thanks for the virtual tour of Chicago. I’ve never been but will have to change that in the near future. Nice touch on that last one (no pun intended).
Such cool pics! I miss you XX
Be sure you walk around Lincoln Park for a few hours and digest some of our lovely, tree-lined, brownstoned streets. Belden between Orchard and Clark is a nice starting point.

I had a very short walk there earlier in the week. Beautiful place. It reminded me of Brooklyn.
But to be honest, I’ve had very little chance to explore. I’ve been ill all week with a cold. And I’ve spent most of my time in Chicago on I-94 or in my hotel room.
I can’t wait to get back to NY tomorrow and crawl into bed.
Chicago is an amazing city, perhaps the world’s most beautiful modern city.
and perhaps not…
