September Trip to Chicago

Earlier this month I drove to Chicago for the weekend to visit Chris and Xiaoqi and see some of the city.
Friend Marleigh tagged along. First two photos from tour boat ride around city.
Chicago Skyline

Chris & Xiaoqi at Chicago Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion The pavilion stands 120-feet high, with a billowing "headdress" of stainless steel ribbons that frame the proscenium opening, connecting to an overhead trellis of crisscrossing steel pipes that define the lawn seating area.



Crown Fountain Designed by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, the Crown Fountain features two 50-foot high glass block towers at each end of a shallow reflecting pool. The towers are activated with changing video images and lights, and water cascades from the top of each, and from the front as shown.
When not at work, the love bugs can be found here in their comfortable new home
