Trains Above the City

@ukandie1 and I spent a fun day together, starting at Graceland Cemetery through shoe-shopping and lunch and then, on my way home, my stopping at a favorite parking garage to photograph the elevated trains.
After seeing Andie's image of the "Eternal Silence of the Statue of Death," my version ended up in my extras album and I went with the trains instead!

@ukandie1 This doesn't compare to the garage on Wells but it made for a fun stop. I made it to the North Branch and then caught the bus. 13,966 steps!

The duel of trains! They look as though they are in a race to get to a certain spot...but as I live in Chicago I know that they are going in opposite directions, however still a great shot. I still have not shot from here!

@taffy when I left you, once I got to Fullerton (which I forgot is the start of the Fullerton bus heading west) there was a bus ready and waiting for me, got on the bus and then it left as I was walking to get a seat. And an added bonus is that Tim took Finn for a walk and met me at the bus stop.
