STL DPB ON THE ROAD - WHO NEEDS THE TROPICS?

Playground of the rich and possibly famous, a pleasure boat harbor on Chicago’s near north frontage on Lake Michigan. We took the grandkids to the observation deck on the 94th Floor of what used to be called the Hancock Building, now just 875 North Michigan Avenue, and pointed the lens down. I don’t get this very expensive hobby. What’s it worth to putt putt around on the lake during nice weather? The boats all have to be hauled out for the winter since the costal areas of the lake freeze over.                    

Back In Chicago

In Chicago for a one night visit. Son Andy was supposed to run his third Chicago Marathon today but a chronic leg injury is keeping him out of the race. We came up anyway and I'll shoot some of the big run later today.

Our hotel is across the street from the Hancock Building. After check-in, we got some lunch and walked around the neighborhood. There is always something strange and interesting at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Note the poster in the second shot for the current photography exhibit. Sure is the opposite of my approach, at least most of the time.

The spiral entrance to Hancock garage makes a nice geometric constuction with the building itself snd the Water Tower Shopping Center behind.
