This is the last of my images from Chicago. And I think it's appropriate: getting into the taxi for the journey home. I took this outside the Hyatt Regency Chicago on East Wacker Drive, along the river. I really liked how the bellmen were reflected in the glass above their heads.
Thanks for indulging my little detour to the Windy City. In these dark winter months I tend not to have a lot of opportunity for interesting photos. It depends on the year, of course, and what's going on. But aside from the holiday markets I haven't got out much. We'll see what the coming weeks bring.
This is the sixteenth and final in a brief series of photos that I took while visiting Chicago in June 1996. They're 35mm color slides that I've scanned and digitized.

I enjoyed the ride. m.
ReplyDeleteNeat photo - looking forward to France. Hope the weather is not as cold and dreary as it is here.
ReplyDeleteI know you must have plenty of other detours you'd like to take us on. I'm looking forward to them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great tour of Chicago! I hope to say hello to the city sometime.

p.s. Wishing you better weather.
I'm going to miss Chicago!
ReplyDeleteMore great reflections !!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it; I used to live in Chicago, so it is always nice to see the old place.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Chicago and your pictures were a nice reminiscence. But you're off by one city in the history of subway and elevated public transit. The first underground trains in the US rolled in Boston in 1897; the first El, also in Boston in 1901. New York's first subway, the IRT, opened in 1904.
ReplyDeletemark, and you can go around again for free!
ReplyDeleterick, a little dreary, not so cold.
cubby, I'll have to give that some thought.
bettyann, thanks!
cheryl, :)
jean, can't resist 'em.
michael, glad you enjoyed.
will, thanks for the info. I lazily took Wikipedia's word for it (something I know better than to do). And I'm a former public transit professional. *hangs head in shame*
