The northernmost branch of the Chicago River on a foggy June morning.

It's a foggy day in Chicago Town
But I'm feelin' up, when I should be down
'Cause I'm in love!
And that? Is a wonderful sound.

Lyrics to a song I never finished. I always hear Tony Bennett's voice when they run through my head on days like this.

Fog City, Part 3

The fog-shrouded skyline, with the lights of Wrigley Field just barely able to punch through, as seen from JB's living room window late Saturday afternoon.

Fog City, Part 2

Just another cotton-shrouded early evening after work in Chicago.

Fog City

Sometimes, days come full circle. On my way in to work yesterday morning, thick fog cloaked the city (especially along the lake shore) immediately prior to heavy thunderstorms clearing the air and flooding the ground. On the way home from work, the same phenomenon occurred: plumes of fog snaked through the Loop and enveloped the office buildings and condo towers just ahead of another storm front crashing through.

I love my city in fog. It makes her look different, yet familiar--at once futuristic and ancient. And it makes me a tourist in my hometown, staring up as far as I can and snapping shots till the batteries in the Kodak run dry.

On the Way in to Work This Morning...

Thick fog rolls in ahead of heavy thunderstorms.
