Photo TR - Chicago/Washington D.C.

I finally went through the pictures I took on a trip to Chicago and Washington D.C.

I found this ad at Navy Pier:

I was hoping to find one for the Baron at Fox, but I didn't see one.

Millennium Park, "The Bean":


I'm having a happy handstand:


More fun being had:


The Chicago area also has a great Forest Preserve system.
Here are a couple of shots taken on a hike close to where my Dad lives:



Washington D.C. coming up next.

So I thought I'd try the fireworks setting on the digital camera.






I also tried messing with manual settings too:



As well a video of the finale:


More from the 4th available here.

More pictures from Washington D.C. next.

Excellent use of the Bean.
