It was a clear Friday morning, I was up early to take Hanna to the bus stop, and the White Sox victory parade was later in the day, so I grabbed the camera and got on the Number 6 to take pictures during the "magic hour" just after dawn. The results were pretty good, I think...

Besides Cloud Gate (aka the Bean) and the Frank Gehry bandshell, Millennium Park has less-celebrated wonders. One of my favorites is the prairie planting south of the bandshell, which made a nice foreground.
