The water tower above a blanket of lights.

This little guy seems to love the sun on his face.

Clark and Division red line subway station. (It's like Groundhog Day.)

Hey, Blue Eyes

This flash of red on grey was a glaring sight on this otherwise cloudy and dark day.

Underground

11.22.05

I spend a decent amount of time using public transportation (I don't think there's a conspiracy against PT, just flagrant stupidity and mismanagement...but don't get me started on the state of the CTA). Usually, I prefer to take the bus, staying above ground and watching the city roll past at street level.

But with the weather turning colder I've been moving underground.

This is the station at Clark and Division. Inviting, isn't it. 

Funhouse

Believe it or not, that's me on either side of the pic, and a very tiny looking me in the center. 

(And Yet Another) Self Portriat

11.20.05

Easily one of the best pieces of public art in America. Not me...I mean Cloud Gate. (Can we please stop calling it the "bean?")

Holiday Train

11.18.05

Every year the CTA dresses up one of their trains and sends it around the city spreading holiday cheer. Don't tell Bill O'Reilly they call it a holiday train instaead of a "Christmas" train. He might have a stroke. On second thought, maybe someone should tell him.

It's a pretty train though.
