People in the neighborhood

You never know who you might run into on the streets of Chicago on a sunny fall weekend.




Monks.

Sailors with Big Gulps.

Men painting a building high up on a scaffold.

Construction workers taking a lunch break.

A construction worker welding a beam in the middle of the street.

Young men playing cricket.

A freight train on the el?







This is why I like living in the city, and why I always travel with a camera.

Pretty flowers

A beautiful day to go for a walk and take pictures of pretty flowers! But winter is in the air...

Marketing that makes you go, hmmm.
