A Cold Autumn Day in Chicago by taffy

A Cold Autumn Day in Chicago

I went to the Art Institute this morning via Millennium Park so that I could photograph the annual "wreathing of the lions" (posting about it tomorrow; update - here it is: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-11-30). It was a cold, brisk morning, but the sun was out and the clouds were fluffy. The word of the day is frost or ice. If you look carefully, you can see the layer of the ice skating rink reflected in Cloud Gate or "The Bean" -- it's between the reflections of the buildings and the squares of the plaza. About an hour later, the rink was covered with skaters of all ages.
