Our Days in Chicago: A Photography Reportage

When Clerg is home, four days a week it is, our mornings start late. First thing one sees is usually a plane carrying an aerial banner (googled that one).

We have noticed that weather forecasts are as wild as the weather itself. Therefore, the weekend of full rain turned out to be of golden sun.

I dared myself on public transportation. The Loop, Chicago`s over a hundred year old railroad, loops, as the name suggests, squeaking and rattling above the city`s business centre.

Coming from Switzerland, the stations are extremely shaky and leave a fragile impression, but have all the more charm and character.

After a half a round on the Loop, we walked through the city towards North. Clerg is in love with all the tall handsome buildings and knows each of them by their names. Below is the Chicago Board of Trade.

And here - the John Hancock Tower.


Clerg`s joy was endless as we discovered some of his favorite ones made of Lego.

We did go into some shops but some of them clearly push on too many senses. Half hearing impaired we came out of this one again.

After a long day of walking and looking at all those wonderful towers and things we took the number-one-hundred-and-fifty-one-bus back to South Water Street and walked home. We are trying out new routes to get to our Shoreham Park where we live. Not all of them work.

PS. Clerg says I should write its windy. It really always is.
