A view looking north from the Sears Tower.

The Navy Pier, a mere 2 blocks away. A very lucky shot.

The view from the roof of the Onterie (my apartment building) looking straight DOWN.

4^th of July. Actually in Chicago, they celebrate on the 3^rd. I was told so one could recover on the 4^th. From the roof of the Ontereie (69 stories?) looking DOWN on the fireworks.

Dave Hartge (left in blue-Local #2/Spot 2) threw an amazing BBQ on the loading dock between shows on a Sunday.

The most fantastic thunderstorms over the lake. I left my camera on a 16 second exposure and kept taking pictures. This is one that turned out.

Franklin Park Zoo. This guy was having the best time with a garbage can.

Shedd Aquarium. Not sure why, but I love sea horses. A great aquarium.

My idol: This lioness at the Franklin Park Zoo had not a worry or care.
