Wednesday Walk - Gloomy Chicago

Here is some Chicago gloom for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay

Early in the morning my train arrives a good half hour before work begins. This gives me an opportunity to cross the freeway to get snacks from Whole paycheck to hoard at my desk. I wonder what is in this strange oval skyscraper?

On my way to the office I always pass by this architectural montrosity.

I like this parenthesis building much better.

The curved shape stands out nicely against the straight boring skyscrapers around it.

The lobby is cool to as it has lots of trees inside.

Here's another of my favorite lobbies in one of the boring looking skyscrapers.

The strange curvy forms seem to have made it into my latest doodle in process.

For such a curvy lobby this building is as straight as they come.

For lunch I went towards the center of downtown and saw some tree color changes in a tiny little park.

The planters were the real place for fall colors.

Now for a bit of tragedy. I found a tiny little dead wren. I wonder if it died of old age, or from the cold snap we had or maybe it smashed into the glass. Poor little guy.

I ended up walking all the way across town trying to find a place still open for lunch. Fortunately it gave me an opportunity to get this shot of the Chicago theater.

On my way back to work I saw these funny pigeon people warming up by a random fire. Maybe this thing is here just for the pigeons to warm up?

Now back to work.

But not before seeing a cool batman looking bike.

Happy #wednesdaywalk :-)

Beautiful post! You have so much nice photography.

Thanks my trusty phone does pretty well.

how are you dear friend @ sketch.and.jam good night
I love those mirrored buildings, they are imposing, I am also very attracted to the colorful gardens and how the pigeons keep warm
Thank you very much for showing us these beautiful photographs
have a wonderful night

Those pigeons were hilarious.

What a gloomy day everywhere! But the sun will shine again soon.
Very strong photos!

Should be sunny here by next year lol.

You've definitely got an eye to frame and capture those buildings in the most stunning and unique ways!

You should post that photo of the pigeons to @hive-106444 and @melinda010100 the #FeatheredFriends community, they would love it and in fact I'm going to write a little off-contest comment contest to it! 😀

Hah I can see how some interesting stories can be built around those cold pigeons :-)

That would be a great photo for the FF Comment Contest! @chocolatescorpi Be sure and tag me if you write a story about those pigeons!

your walks around Chicago even on a gloomy day makes me want to visit there and see it all for myself

ps I love your doodle

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)

I better hurry up and finish that doodle for #trippythursday...

Thats a great idea :)

A nice walk between the skyscrapers ...😊
And a miracle is that mini park and the pigeons that are warming up ...
I like Bike a lot😉

One day I'll have to do a bike featured wednesday walk. There are lots of interesting ones parked around town, some with nice custom airbrushing on them.

Wonderful Chicago photo tour! 😍

Weather was strange today, started out cold now its hot out. Created some crazy fog around my building.20201022_094154.jpg

Same here. Really dense fog, Except without tall buildings, only trees!
