Chicago as our flight turned around and lined up for landing, back in December. Below right, 99% certain it’s Lake Winnebago on our way down. I also had a lovely view of Geneva Lake but couldn’t photograph it because the window was too iced over – in the shots you see below, that ice had melted as we descended and the sun won out :-).
Steve calls these extraordinary works of art at the Art Institute of Chicago ‘Dollhouses’ – Sam & I call them miniatures. They are simply exquisite and amazing. And a revelation to me, made entirely or mostly by clearly remarkable women in the early 20th century, if I recall correctly. Note the intentional semi-self-portrait in the mirror, above. And yes, I was gazing into this miniature scene through a window. 🙂
Lake Michigan & the Chicago Skyline at sunset last Sunday during a short visit hosted and magnificently curated with walks, Art Institute, concerts & superb restaurants and food (thanks!) by Sam and Marissa. More from the current US visit in upcoming posts, no doubt :-).
(so much world, so little time....)
