I normally avoid taking photos of people. But this was an instance of being at the right place at the right time. I love how there is movement in nearly everything. Like I captured a distinct moment in time.

Photo taken on 15 September 2024.

Another photo from our walk along the Chicago River on Sunday. I love the color of the water and the bridges going off toward the horizon. On the right is one of the most iconic buildings on the Chicago Skyline - the Marina City Building.

A view of the Chicago River with greenish water, flanked by tall buildings and bridges. A boat is visible near the center, and several people are walking along the waterfront. The scene is set against a clear blue sky.

🧵 2/3

* #Chicago has never had “dry heat” in the summer. You can usually expect it to be very humid in August. (Although this week is forecast to be unusually nice weather.)

* The #Pedway connects underground RTA train stops and various parts of the city. It’s clean, safe, has public BATHROOMS (usually), and provides a cool walk in hot weather. Look for the yellow compass symbol above and below street level.

#HappyStPatricksDay !

The city of #Chicago today celebrated #StPatricksDay with their annual tradition of dyeing the Chicago River GREEN.

The modern dye coloring formula is actually orange (😲) and plant-based, so it is NOT toxic to the environment. The original formula would dye the water for over a week, but the modern plant-based formula lasts only for a few hours.

The tradition began in 1962, when someone noticed a plumber with his pants stained green from wading in the Chicago River. At the time, the city was using an oil-based green dye to trace how their waste water was impacting the river. A local businessman took inspiration from the green-pants plumber, and began the tradition as a way to bring public attention to the need for protecting the natural enviroment.
