It’s fun to look back at all the photos I took in a year and then see if I can narrow it down to my favorite ten. I’m not sure why some make the cut and others don’t, it’s just gut feel, really.

I scribble words onto the screen, I capture the images I see, I look for beauty in everyday life. I’ve been a sailor, a project manager, a tech writer, a programmer, and since May 2016, I have been a vagabond traveling in a 17-foot travel trailer.
Chicago: Details
There were some photos that just didn’t fit into my earlier posts but I couldn’t let them go. So here’s one last post about Chicago, featuring those photos.
Chicago: Art Institute
Of all the places I visited in Chicago, the Art Institute was my hands-down favorite. I went twice and I could have gone again, if I’d had another day in the city. There was so much to see, so much art to appreciate. Here are three of my favorite pieces.
Chicago: Glass Reflections
One really fun aspect of touring Chicago from the water (see my Chicago: On the River post) is the opportunity to catch the reflections in glass buildings. I wish I’d noticed this earlier in the cruise, but I was obsessing about the bridges. Took me a while to notice all the reflections.
Chicago: On the River
Despite temps in the low 30s and that chill wind off the lake that Chicago is famous for, I went cruising on the Chicago River. Yes, it was cold. And, yes, it was worth it, both because I learned more about Chicago and because you see things from the water that you’d miss just walking the boulevards and back streets (which I did a lot).
