Vacation 2022-08 Roselle, Il.

Chicago 202208

In an amazing coincidence, my sister Debbi and her friend Laurie were in Chicago at the same time we were there visiting Miku and Jason at their new home. From L to R: Miku (our D-I-L), Jason (our son), Penny (my bride of 54 years), me, Debbi, Laurie, Heather (our daughter), Isaac (our grandson), and Hugh (our S-I-L). . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto

Miku had many things planned for the seven of us. One of those things was a 90-minute riverboat architecture tour of the Chicago skyline. . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto

Our tour guide was a fantastic woman (a high school teacher) who gave us the history of all the main buildings, the architect who designed them, and the “scoop” about the people who lived and worked there. Unfortunately, I will never remember the names of the buildings or the architects, so enjoy the exciting skyline. . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto

I loved this undulating building with the two-story open space to reduce wind loading. That design concept was quite successful! . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto

We saw many sculptures on buildings and in parks along the river. . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto

Our tour guide is a high school teacher during the academic year. She does the Chicago River Architecture tour during the summer. She is a wealth of knowledge about the many buildings along the river. . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto

I love how the glass buildings reflect the beautiful sky and surrounding structures. . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto

And then, seemingly totally out of context, a Japanese pavilion showed up! . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto

Along the river were many old bridge structures. Some are still functional, while others are no longer useful. . . . #Vacation_202208 #Chicago #IL #Roselle #Nikon_D810 #Tamron #SCPCphoto
