We had a bit of a snow storm. Apparently even Lake Michigan gets cold in the winter.

Hung out on Michigan Ave tonight. It was a chilly but dry night and the crunch beneath my boots was salt, not snow. The sparkling lights of the city made me wish I lived downtown.

To be honest, this one's a bit disappointing. No refinement in the detail. Sigh.

I was walking on campus the other day and saw what I thought were ice sculptures: a stallion, a phoenix, and some other avian species lightly dusted with snow in the middle of a plaza. It couldn't be, I thought to myself, it's a recession! But, alas, I was not in Berkeley anymore. At private schools, recession begets not larger class sizes or staff furloughs, but lovely little unnecessary ice sculptures.

I think the cloud formations are created by airplanes as they take off from Midway Airport.

I haven't seen much outside of my apartment and the library these days. I took both of these shots from inside my apartment.
