Keep Walking . . . . Keep Walking . . . by jyokota

Keep Walking . . . . Keep Walking . . .

I don't have particularly good hearing, and over the nearly 20 years I've lived in Chicago, I have always heard "keep walking" repeated over and over whenever I pass through this walkway at O'Hare Airport. However, my husband says it's an announcement about the "moving walkway."

I tried to take photos on the plane, as I often do, but the flight attendants told me it was not allowed by policy and that they have asked passengers who don't stop to disembark the plane (we were high in the air at the time). I was trying to take photos of the ovens and serving carts during the middle of the night . . . but I decided I'd better respect their policy. Therefore, the photo here is the only one I took this day.
That's one pretty wild shot, it looks a bit futuristic.

@adayinmallacoota 'futuristic'...that's a good description!
I take it they just mean shots "of" the plane...not outside the windows?

amazing, is this to take your mind off the security checks?

I love this. Fav. You seem to spend a lot of time on planes. Is that part of your job?

@adayinmallacoota -- I've thought it looked futuristic, too, but it's looked the same for the nearly 20 years I've lived in Chicago so perhaps it's more timeless.
@lynnb -- undoubtedly true that it's ok to take photos out the window. . . but frankly, I've taken MANY inside planes over this past year (as you know!) and this is the only day I was reprimanded and stopped.
@jo13 especially the colors!
@kali66 these lights were put up long before the heavy security checks of today, but perhaps they do serve that purpose of taking our minds up and off of the terrible experience.
@dh Thanks for the FAV! This has been an unusual year in my life in that I have traveled much more and lived abroad for longer stretches of time than ever before. It's "part of my job" in that because I'm retired from my university job, I now do research and speaking all around the world.
