Art Hill > October 30, 2009 Scarlett I watched Scarlett at her house while her Mom took Lindsey to her preschool Halloween party. I shot a short video of Scarlett and put it on the laptop for her to see. She was fascinated by it and wanted to watch it over and over. While I was showing it to her she kept reaching for the mouse so I let her sit in the chair. She's 2 1/2. I had some good fall shots and thought I would post one but couldn't resist posting this one. I've entered a few shots in a contest at Midwest Living Magazine and would appreciate it if you found time to go over there and click on "I like this" next to any of the pictures you like. Also, if you have pictures from the midwest you might want to enter them. You could win a trip to Chicago. http://www.midwestliving.com/photos/photo-contests/my-midwest-november/1275600006/
Art Hill > October 29, 2009 Twins We took Kyle and Lindsey to a little nature center in Oak Brook. It was a gloomy day with no sun so the only thing I got worth posting was this reflection of the buildings in the little nature center lake/pond. (Buildings are at the northwest corner of Route 83 and Butterfield. Ditkas Restaurant in one of them)
Art Hill > October 28 2009 This is why they call it Fall Of course the classic fall shots show the trees in all their glory. Sometimes though, even the leaves on the ground make a pretty scene. This is in my next door neighbors front yard.
Art Hill > October 27, 2009 War Rooms Miserable weather yesterday so I didn't even pick up the camera. Thought I would share some of the experience at the War Rooms we visited in London Top left The Map Room came into use on the very first day that the Cabinet War Rooms were ready for occupation and never ceased to be the hub of the whole site until VJ Day. Quietly closed down the next day, 16 August 1945, it was left almost exactly as we see it today, every book, map, chart, pin and notice occupying the same position now that they occupied then. The walls are pasted with large scale maps of the Atlantic, the seas around the United Kingdom and Far Eastern theatres of war including maps showing the island-hopping operations by the American sea-borne forces in the Pacific. Top right Churchill's room He insisted on having as close access as possible to the Map Room and his office was sited right next door to it, with a communicating door. On four occasions during the dark days of the second half of 1940, after the majority of central Europe had fallen to Hitler's armies, it was from this office that Churchill broadcast to the nations of the world. It was here he met the Heads of State, the politicians and military figures who visited the Map Room. Bottom Left Chief of Staff Conference Room Bottom Right Churchill's Kitchen Update: I did these all in black and white for the collage but did selective coloring for the red phone. Color versions and additional pictures of the war rooms are here http://arthill.smugmug.com/Vacation/London/Churchill-War-Rooms/9884502_Nrx23#668908416_8QxTX
Art Hill > October 26, 2009 Scarlett The kids grew their own pumpkins in the backyard. These two are Scarlett's and she's pretty proud of them.
Art Hill > October 25, 2009 Our street We finally got some sunshine yesterday afternoon after a pretty miserable couple of days. I just grabbed this shot through the windshield as we turned on to our street.
Art Hill > October 24, 2009 London nourishment I've got nothing from yesterday to post. It's raining and miserable. I went back to my London pictures to show you some of what we ate while we were there. Have a great weekend. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my Chicago bridge pictures. Update: To address Duane's question, I used AutoCollage a little known product from Microsoft. It just takes a bunch of pictures and puts them together like this automatically.
Art Hill > October 23, 2009 Bridge Opening - Chicago River In yesterday's post the Wabash bridge is raised. After it closed I ran over there and took this shot of the State Street bridge after the sailboats had passed. You can see that only the right half of the Dearborn Street bridge is raised; apparently they were having some mechanical difficulties. If you didn't see yesterday's post the basic idea is this: In the Spring these bridges are raised twice a week for a few weeks to allow owners to sail their boats out to Lake Michigan. In the Fall the bridges are raised twice a week so that owners can take their boats OUT of Lake Michigan to wherever they store them for the winter. Only boats that can fit under the closed bridges can routinely cruise on the river.
Art Hill > October 22, 2009 Raised bridge on the Chicago River I was so excited yesterday to see this. They only open the bridges at 10:00 on Wednesdays and Saturdays, only for a few weeks in the Spring and the Fall. Ever since I quit working downtown (in 2000) I just don't get a chance to see this. I think I got a few shots in 2005. We just happened to be downtown yesterday and were walking along the river when my wife said "Look, the bridge is raising". This shot is of the Wabash Avenue bridge; I'm facing West. Update: To answer the question: The sailboats can't get back. The bridge raising is just in the Spring to let the boats into Lake Michigan and in the Fall to let them back out. A sailboat owner only makes the trip twice in a year. The rest of the time they sail in the lake. Only boats that fit under the lowered bridges actually cruise the river.
