Over lunch today I took my camera to a park near my office to take some photos. I'd driven by the park several times, but had never stopped and explored. It looked petty from the street, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a little pond and cottage tucked away in the the back. The park is in Rosemont, at the intersection of two major Chicago area expressways, near a major convention center and in the shadow of O'Hare International Airport. A little oasis. You can see the Rosemont water tower in the background.
My goal was to get a photo for Skywatch Friday, which I did, but there wasn't a lot happening in the sky. Just gorgeous blue color. And as close as I was to O'Hare, you'd think I would have captured an airplane overhead, but I didn't see one the whole time.
I'm participating in Skywatch Friday today.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like an old English Inn fronting a canal, all cottagy and inviting. At first I thought there was a hot air balloon amongst the trees. Really nice the way the water tower has been so colourfully painted. All in all a very beautiful scene.
