My drive home last night was a little quicker than usual as I didn't leave Hyde Park until almost 6:00 pm. The traffic was much lighter than it usually is around 5:00 pm. The lake was green and somewhat tumultuous. Reflecting the weather of the day and that to come last night. As I turned the bend just north of Promontory Point on Lake Shore Drive the downtown looked like a scene out of the twilight zone. I could see all of the buildings, but they were in a haze. This location gives a wonderful view of the whole downtown - I need to get a picture there - you can barely see the Ferris wheel on Navy Pier.
Coming in this morning the fog dominated the downtown coming from Lakeview. I could see the bottom of the John Hancock Building and its towers, but not the top two thirds of the structure. The lake was just as I saw it the evening before, green and solid and firm waves, not the ones that crash over the running path.
What a great city, it's own personality - many rewards and challenges for those who choose to live here!
Take care
