Just Biking In the Rain

Two ladies having a grand old time, navigating a rain slicked street on a bicycle built for one.

 

The print of this image is damaged.

Flickr has so far refused to send me a new one. I may display it anyway.

Every False Thing Ends

Another shot of the Franklin Avenue bridge over the Chicago River, taken a few years earlier, and on the west side instead of the east. Blue and red was the trigger.

Contemplation of the Winter Bean

Millennium Park, of course. There can never be enough Cloud Gate photos, right?

(more details about the sculpture en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Gate)

Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor has been the subject of ten million photographs, or more, even though initially the Park District tried to restrict photographic reproduction.

A Head For Business

Actually called Corporate Head, by Terry Allen.

There is a poem by Philip Levine on the sidewalk, which reads:

They said
I had a head
for business.
They said
to get ahead
I had to lose
my head.
They said
be concrete
& I became
concrete.
They said
go, my son,
multiply,
divide, conquer.
I did my best.

725 S. Figueroa, Los Angeles.
