More Chicago Pix

And last Sunday afternoon will have to serve as my last visit there for a while. Very soon it's off to the Netherlands with me.

Don't mind me while I blubber, but--surely Chicago is one of the world's great cities. Big, boisterous, but not noisy or hostile. Just powerful, confident, and more or less un-selfconscious.
 

More pictures follow...

There was an enormous charity Walkathon. The tents are just to feed the participants. Yes, the Midwest does a lot of Big Eating. But don't forget--a lot of charity, too.
 

Seen from almost any angle, this city seems interesting.
 

Near the lake, in a cool spot downwind from the large fountain, I found a tree stump in the shade, and I looked past Chicago's little harbor and across Lake Michigan.

 

Let's call it "summer's first game of Frisbee" even if the trees are still bare.
 

Season's first chance to cruise the lakeshore.
 

Adler Planetarium.
 

Er, the camera slipped there. Sorry...
