Along The Mag Mile

Hello Hayward, nice set, I like the shot of the park with the Gazebo, the leading lines work well here. I also love Chicago, its my fav American city. TFS

Great shots. I love Chicago. But people drive nutty there.

Cracking shots Hayward. I think the last one is my favorite - love the sheer size of the bridge next to the boats.

Does the river there freeze over? Is that why you say until next year?

I loved the adventure! And I especially love the gazebo shot for beauty but the other two for the energy!

Hi Lindy - I love walking down Michigan Avenue .. I feel like a pretzel dwarfed by all these tall office buildings and high rises .. it's even prettier at this this time of the year .. thank you for the lovely comments

Love the Gazzebo Hayward.. Just how do they open the bridge.... when sailboats start crashing into one another or is it on the hour or half hour Nice work

Hi Brendan - I think the city picks the day and time for the owners to move their boats .. the bridges are about 2city blocks apart, so there is enough room in the "pen" for 10+ boats .. they open the first bridge - let all the boats in the pen - close it and open the next one - etc .. it's very interesting to watch ... thanks for taking a peek

you're always in Chicago, aren't you?
