cool bridge detail
all tuckered out
Awesome! I especially enjoyed the political image (which could be a cartoon in The Week!), the family picture, and I think the 1914 Grocery warehouse history and current use is fascinating and wonderful. We aren't really city people, but based upon your posts and endorsements... count me in for the next Chicago exploration! Aren't they supposed to have good pizza too?
ReplyDeleteIf you don't know about it already, check out the Niagara Mohawk Building in Syracuse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Mohawk_Building
It is a favorite of mine. Just so stunning! I can't look at it and not think that the mayor might light the Bat signal from the top when the city and its people are in danger.
Great shots. I too love the Trump tower shot and commentary. The photo of you and Artemis is great. You both look determined. And the candid shot of the family is perfect... it says so much!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos of the city (in this post and the last), but the two family pictures are the best. Those are definitely worth framing. I almost like the pre-posed shot better-looks like an album cover or something ;-)
