Beautiful Winter in Chicago

Chicago in winter.

Ain't she a beauty?

Winter in Chicago isn't always so clear.

In this picture I'm looking at downtown, skyscrapers and all.

A 90 degree pivot and this is what I saw of the lake AND the shore.

A 180 degree pivot and about a mile down the shore,

the fog was lighter,

and I slipped on the ice for the second time this winter.

Nobody saw me, right?

Wrong.

My dignity and body were bruised again.

Sledding in the city - doesn't it make you feel like a kid again?

Winter harbor.

This isn't Chicago, in case you couldn't tell,

but it's too beautiful a picture to leave out for such a minor detail.

I don't know what's more stunning, the snowy land or the big big sky.

As with most winter eves, they end cozily holed up inside looking outside.
