This is from many years ago.
When it was OK to travel, people used to say avoid the touristy areas. But when I look at these photos maybe there’s a reason why people go there.

Reflections on the Hancock Tower 
When there was Borders
As a side note, this is my entry to this week’s LAPC, which made me realize that stripes and check patterns are everywhere, specially in cities.
Travel 5/10
So true – especially maybe in cities. And yours are magnificent – so love them and the reflections on Hancock Tower especially!

You’re welcome and thanks for the comment!
I would love to go back and visit Chicago after many years myself. One thing I remember is that it was truly a “windy” city. 🙂
Take care and regards to Biasini! 🙂

Chicago has known the best and worst of times. Over the past 48 years I’ve come to look on it as a second home (my first being originally in London.) But now, with all the violence, not to mention the virus crisis, I no longer feel comfortable in the city. And that’s a pity because I always loved spending the day there. So much to see, do and photograph. So near (just a 30 minute ride by express train) but so far away now. I really miss it. Thank you for sharing these pictures, a reminder of happier and more carefree days.

Thank you, Sue, for sharing your thoughts. Indeed these were from “happier and more carefree days,” what I would like to remember of Chicago and travelling in general. Glad it brings back good memories for you.

Lovely ode to Chicago Nes. So true about the nostalgia for travel, hoping we are back to it again soon. My husband and I have enjoyed visiting Chicago several times, fortunately only in the summer!
