Sailing in Chicago

The other day, we were bumming around the house when, just like that, some sailboats sailed right past our window. For some reason, the sailboats seemed huge. When I went out to photograph them, my camera shrunk them to toys. Even so, this picture still shows how many boats there were out there on Lake Michigan. It's amazing how many boats the horizon can hold. I've counted over 100 on a nice day (scanning from the north in Evanston, where Northwestern has a sailing school, to downtown, where hundreds of boats magically appear at their yacht clubs in the Spring).
