The glass reflections in 2 and 3 are fun, too.

it's been 20 years or so since I was there and you reminded me with these photos. I especially feel carried away by the first one.
Thanks.
They had a Mapplethorpe exhibit when I was there, at the height of the controversies, that's how long it's been, and I was awed. Since then Chicago spells "photographs" foremost.

...your photos remind me of just how long it's been since I've been there -- about 20 years now. It's a great city and your photos are beautiful! Thanks for posting them!

I always enjoy city scrapes because I don't see them much. Little ol' Anchorage doesn't really qualify.
