Chicago Skyline At Night

Chicago Skyline At Night

An attempt to capture Chicago’s beautiful Skyline at night from Navy Pier. I know it’s not a good image – I’m not a professional photographer and I don’t have a professional camera.

Fireworks at Navy Pier (August 30th, 2008)

Each year, during the summer, on every Wednesday and Saturday nights, there are fireworks at Navy Pier. It’s a pretty nice way to end a summer’s night at Navy Pier. You would expect to see only children there, but that’s not the way it is. Lots of adults seem to enjoy the fireworks. So did I. The pictures above are from August 30th – the last show for the summer of 2008. If you missed them, make sure you come back next summer (from the end of May till the end of August/beginning of September) to catch one of the shows.
