Chicaaaaago
Chicago time was way too short. I'm at work again already. It's making me sad. I got back home to lots of rain and cold a contrast to Chicago, where the weather was awesome and just the way I like it. I largely thwarted the jetleg due to awesomeness. Basically I managed to stay up for 2 days straight.
Anyways, Chicago was great. We did all on foot and therefor saw a lot as well. A Highlight was the Art Institute and the Cultural Center. My favorite building was the Wrigley Building. We also did this very awesome tour on the wendella. I love the whole foods supermarket a lot and a store named Anthropology. Mostly just walking around with my mum ;)
See more pictures here.
ps: I forgot tons of birthdays, important ones. I hope you won't hold me poor planning against me. Happy belated birthday![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I am happy you had such a great time and great weather. I was going to say, that's the EastCost for you, but Chicago already counts as MidWest, does it? Today is the first day it didn't rain in the last week *blergh*
What kind of camera did you use? Did you use a "Polfilter"? If not, I am in love with your camera and want it now.
Btw, why Chicago? Why not any other big US city? *is curious*

Did you live in the US at some point?
I think Chicago is Mid/West, yes... it's in Illinois. And it doesn't rain because I am back. I came back, it stopped raining. So it's more then a coincidence!
I use a canon eos 40d. Two different lenses, no filters. Though I want some. but my camera is damaged right now. Some pics I took with my iphone. None are color corrected. Just sharpened a bit.
And Chicago for one simple reason. My dad was there for three weeks working and invited me.

But yeah, I lived for a year (Sep '99 - Sep 2000) in Columbia, MD as Au Pair. That's halfway between Washington, DC and Baltmore, MD.
And what I loved most about it, was the weather :D
An ah, okay, but a SLr, right?
Still, the sky looks so darn blue! I am jealous.

And Au Pair! I had thought about doing that too. I'm not sure why I didn't.
What about the weather?
And yes... itÄs an SLR. But they really bkue ones I did with my iphone.

Also the seasons were well-defined with spring, summer, fall and winter, being distinctly different from each other like in a picture book. Not the mesh of all-rain, it feels like here.
I later learned that that is typial coastal weather, but since I had never experienced that before, it stood out to me.
Sadly you need to be under 26 or 27 to be an AuPair so you can't still go...

And I don't plan on being an au pair now. Maybe something different at some point.
Clear seasons seems nice!!

And it have so many pictures. Very trigger happy the first days. It lessened a bit after.

On a side note, Chicago always looks sunny on pictures. That's fascinating. And by the bay, Wrigley Building was my favorite, too.

Das erste Foto is auch mit mein liebstes. Es sieht so ein bisschen düster aus.

And I must admit that I sinned a lot. I don't have all that much money but did by an athropology top for 80$. It was just so awesome.
