Texas Meets The Windy City






















First we have a view of the Chicago River.
Next is a nice curved building that offered a great reflection, just next to the Chicago River.
The next four are of a nice piece of work that everyone called 'The Bean' even though that's not the official name for it (I just can't remember what the real name is...). I could have spent a long time playing with that object, taking random photos. It's great. Chicago seems to have a lot of things that are very reflective.
Next is the Tribune Tower, that I just think is cool not only for its style but because it houses a great newspaper (plus the radio station at the bottom).
Then we have the view from the John Hancock Center tower, that was voted best view in Chicago (better even than from the Sears Tower..ooooh).
The next two are the view from the room where I slept, the fresh snowfall on the morning I left. I think the snow is beautiful, but I think I still prefer to look at it from inside a warm building.
Last is the snow at the Lutheran School of Theology, one of the places I came to visit. In some ways I think it's kind of an odd building, but I think it goes well with the snow.
