"Untitled" (Chicago Subway)

The one above is one my favorite pictures from Chicago. It looks like a simple picture, but I really do like it, because it represents somehow the way I feel every time I go there. It becomes "me and the city", just that. Surrounded by concrete, every corner becomes an invitation which I take with great pleasure. Did I say I love this city? Despite that I have been living on the country side for quite a while, which I already got used to it (love it), I still need once and a while my share of city traffic, noise, speed, etc, etc, and "Chi-Town" its to me what for many people in Montevideo is to go to Buenos Aires. It is some type of "inward escape".
I am counting the hours (less than 48) to jump on the 5.45 AM bus to Union Station, and spend the whole day simply walking around, do some galleries and museums (got my ticket already for the Art Institute of Chicago) and some good music. That will be my way to welcome the Spring and I am happy for that.
