Michigan Avenue — The Magnificent Mile

Early morning sunrise over Lake Michigan ...

... traffic is already beginning to build. Tail lights can be seen reflected in windows along the Magnificent Mile.

Navy Pier

The conference is over for the day and some of the communication group strolls down to Navy Pier for the evening ... 

... to eat, ride the ferris wheel and ... what else ... pose as Charlie's Angels. Wait, wasn't that Los Angeles? Oh well ....

... others look for portraits of sea gulls ...

... and find two who seem a pair ... it is that season of year, you know ... and when the time is right ... and all that can be sung has been sung ... flit off a discrete distance from the photographer's prying lens ...

... but there are other portraits along Navy Pier. Who can resist a funhouse mirror ...

... or a stroll at dusk in wedding finery ...

... to see the harbor through the bowsprit of a tall ship and ...

... watch the sun descend through the mirrored wall of the city's waterfront.
