Dang, isn't it spring yet? As you can see, the weather can't decide. Spencer the dog is enjoying some beautiful sunshine, but the ice floes are a reminder of the cold, cold, cold winter we've enjoyed. To give you a little context on where this picture was taken, we are on the pier in Loyola Park. The buildings on the horizon are partially Loyola University Chicago (where I attend) and a few high-rise condos on the lake. If it were a clearer day, downtown Chicago would be visible to the left of the picture. The John Hancock Building looks like the tallest one on the skyline from Rogers Park, but as you all know the Sears Tower is the tallest building in Chicago by about 500 feet. On a clear day, the Sears Tower can also be seen from this vantage point, but it is way off in the distance, west of downtown. Later this spring I'll take some pictures to show the skyline from our neighborhood.
