These shots are really good. I've been there and it didn't look like this to me back then. Keep them coming.

Those are beautiful shots. Were you standing on the tulips on the first shot? Haha I hope you weren't

Great shots. Paulq and harsh.kataruka- there are pedestrian breaks between the flower beds. Chicago's "Mayor For Life" has lots of faults, but he sure runs a beautiful city!
