In Like a Lion ... Out Like A Lion

The snow that came in this past weekend was really heavy and sticky. But since it was very windy, it didn't uniformly stick on things. Such as in this picture, where only the north side of the columns, light posts, and gazebo in the Bloch Cancer Survivors Park are coated with snow. It created an interesting contrast. It had the look of a shadow but wasn't. By the way, this park used to be the Old S Curve, before Lake Shore Drive was straightened out in the mid-80s.

Springing Back

Although they took a beating yesterday during that
freak Winter resurrection, these daffodils are survivors.

It's Ba-a-a-ck!

In an unexpected turn of events,
Winter has risen from its hibernation ...

and punched out Spring.

Moses by Michelangelo Buonarroti

I can't find any information about this mural on Fairbanks Court.
It is captioned "Michelangelo Buonarroti, Moses 1515"
The building houses the Pritzker Military Library.

Who did it? Why is it on this building?

If You Don't Like How I Ride ...

... stay off the sidewalk.

I missed the shot where the horse was blocking the whole sidewalk.
But, I liked this one, too, since the three women walking
down the street don't seem to notice the horse.

Bumper Deer

This deer family can be found by the Aon Center (also known as the Amoco Building and, before that, Standard Oil Building) in the Loop neighborhood. They are made of car bumpers by an artist named John Kearney. There are several of his bumper animals scattered throughout Chicago (perhaps I'll do a tour of them one of these days).

Urban Sunset

Heading west on Division Street in the West Town neighborhood.
I liked the way the sunset took over the sky and the street with shades of color ranging from apricot to red-orange.
