Waiting for the Metra

One day this winter I was downtown waiting for the Metra and I took some fun photos of the city. I'm avoiding doing some homework now, so here they are.

We'll start with the least interesting one first. It's a bronze spigot. Oh well. It was interesting to me at the time. I suppose I should say something arty like, "look at the line," or, "the burnishing around the lip just gives it fabulous texture, darling," but... nope... I've got nothing.

I'll start at the corner of this street here and work my way out. I just like angles of things. Angles and lines. I liked the clean and imposing lines of this utilitarian sandstone building. The purple monstrosity next to it is the City Center Hotel, and no, it's not really purple, they're just sparkin' her up that way for yucks.
