Getting a sun tan while waiting on the platform for the El (the train) - that's actually a heat booth - you press a button for the heaters to come on. They're like 20amp lights in a reflective casing - hardly touch the sides.... From left: Veronica, Emily, Peter and a visitor from the Hawkes Bay.
The view from the steps of the Art Institute looking up State Street - that's the raised El in the bottom of the picture (the Loop track runs over ground) and the mighty Sears Tower in the background.
The Hancock building on Michigan Ave.
Two Georgia O'Keefe paintings I feel in love with at the Art Institute...she was originally from Wisconsin.
Grant Wood's "American Gothic" - part of the permanent collected at the Institute. I never realised before that that is supposed to be the farmer's daughter (not wife).
Shadows in the galleries
One of the two well photographed lions outside the Institute. During Superbowl weekend, when we were last in Chicago, they each were wearing a Chicago Bears helmet!
The Hancock from the El.
