pictures...

driving into Chicago, Jan 3rd 2007. The city welcomed us with a magnificent sunset, and...

the full moon, rising over Grand Haven. yes, i know it's blurry, we were driving up lakeshore drive.

on the first weekend, we met Birgit, and took an extraordinary look at downtown Chicago: from the top of the Sears building, that's the tall one with the two antennas.
Sears building was actually the tallest building in the world, until it's record was taken from it by the Petrona tower in Kuala Lampur, and then by the Taipei 101 building. but as the explanatory film we watched (before taking the 1-minute elevator to the 103 floor) took a great care to emphasize, if you consider the antennas -- it's still the tallest building in the world.


and here are some festive trees, for ima.
