Off into the sunset
I found myself at the Belmont El station today, and the colors on the horizon were brilliant. Of course my camera's battery was dying, so I didn't get to take as many pictures as I would've liked. I think this one came out nicely.
I went on a river architecture tour today, which was a wonderful experience. I love going on local tours like that, where most everybody else is a tourist. Most of the tour was spent talking about how expensive all the real estate in Chicago is. Naturally, we motored past Marina City:
I tried to get my best Yankee Hotel Foxtrot picture, but I got it all wrong. Marina City is always a strange thing for me. I don't find the building all that attractive, and all the rooms are pie-shaped. That would seem very disconcerting to me, as I think people expect rooms to be square-shaped or otherwise rectangular.
Nevertheless, the tour was a great time. I had a lovely time with a lovely girl, and I would recommend the tour to anyone, Chicagoan or not!
