Train Platform on a Rainy Chicago Day

I stayed over the rest of the day after taking Lee Ann & Beth to the Airport to try and take some more shots around Chicago, but it just poured rain all day. But on my way to the zoo, I did meet a new friend, Shannon who I had lunch with and perused the neighborhood second-hand shop. On the way back to pick up my rig from the Airport, I was determined to get at least one shot before I left. So I skipped one train and captured this platform shot in the rain. Yeh-yeh, I guess I wimped out and stayed dry this time ;0

Kinda goes with the train tunnel I posted earlier…

Trump Tower – Chicago

And of course being an ‘Apprentice’ fan (at least early on), and rooting for Bill R. had to get a couple shots of Trump Tower ;)

Trump Tower - Chicago Trump Hotel & Tower - Entrance

Kept running out into the middle  of an intersection trying to get this without being run over while Lee Ann & Beth were in line for a Pizza down the street :)

Chicago Athletic Association

I just loved the facade of this building – with the light and different colored windows & hiding behind the large trees :D
