Visit daily to see Tricia's latest photos
Chicago cab on a busy downtown Chicago street. I loved the look of the Chicago cabs and couldn’t resist taking a picture of at least one while we were there for a short visit in August. I doubt that riding in one would have been much different than riding one here in Toronto, but they sure look different from our cabs!
Horse, buggy and coachmen seen on the side of the street, Chicago, Downtown.
These days it’s fairly unusual to see a horse, let alone a horse, buggy and coachmen on the streets of any city. We do have horses here in toronto though … but their ridden by Royal Canadian Mounties! So this was a different horse related sight for me!
Red Chairs – Photo of the seating in the Jay Pritzker pavilion in Millennium Park, downtown Chicago. I like how the red contrasts with the overcast sky above. It’s a colorful sight once you are amoung all those racy red chairs!
This is a photo of the Jay Pritzker pavilion in Millennium Park – Downtown Chicago.
Frank Gehry, winner of the National Medal of Art, applied his signature style to this revolutionary outdoor concert venue. The Pavilion stands 120-feet high, with a billowing headdress of brushed stainless steel ribbons that frame the stage opening and connect to an overhead trellis of crisscrossing steel pipes. The trellis supports the sound system, which spans the 4,000 fixed seats and the Great Lawn, which accommodates an additional 7,000 people.
This state-of-the-art sound system, the first of its kind in the country, was designed to mimic the acoustics of an indoor concert hall by distributing enhanced sound equally over both the fixed seats and the lawn.
