How had I never been to Chicago before? There was definitely more to do than my three days there allowed for, but I got a great sense of the city and life in the burbs too. Here are some shots of the beautiful United terminal at O’hare, our hotel and a sunset view from our room, and some architecture… Selecting which pictures to showcase here was difficult. In next week’s Photo Friday post, I’ll highlight two fun shops because I had to take pictures for you.
The docent of our architectural boat tour described Chicago as a “Paris on the Prairie” and a gateway to the West. Learning more about the city’s history and development was fascinating.

Beautiful photos Naomi, really wonderful! My favourites are the yellowish and blue diptych, they match wonderfully together!
I’ve never been to Chicago and will probably never go!! So glad I could see the city through your eyes! Beautiful images!
What a beautiful city and your photos really capture the essence it’s difficult isn’t it picking and rejecting photos ?
YES! I take so many and I hate to leave out great ones but less is more, right?
this place is gorgeous when seen
through such beautiful eyes.
thanks for sharing,
Jennifer
Thanks, Jen!
