| Sunday morning in Chicago: a view from the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower). |
 |
| Chandelier in the Empire Room of Palmer House Hilton Hotel where we stayed. |
 |
| Wall sconce, Palmer House lobby/bar. |
 |
| Chagall's stained glass windows, Art Institute. |
 |
| Sunlight on the fountain in the courtyard of the Art Institute. |

| View from a window of the Art Institute. |
 |
| Night view of the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park, designed by Jaume Plensa. |

As we walked through Millennium Park we heard music -- Tchaikovsky. It was a free classical concert in
the Pritzker Pavillion, attended by a huge crowd. We listened for a few minutes and continued around the park. |
 |
"Cloud Gate" -- also called "the bean" -- a sculpture by Anish Kapoor in Millennium Park.
Day and night it reflects the admiring and fascinated crowds and the facing skyscrapers on Michigan Avenue. |
In 24 hours we saw quite a bit, ate several good meals, and walked until I, at least, was ready to drop. I will be posting more photos of the Art Institute, the food, and the Willis Tower -- especially the glass-bottom balconies where one is suspended 103 stories above the ground.
Big sigh. Looks like such an amazing trip. You know, all my times there -- I've never seen the outdoor fountain at the art institute.
