it's funny how physical reality fades in memory even if your mind knows what it should be like. what am i going on about? i know quite a bit about the architecture of chicago, at least i'm supposed to since i studied it at university and also have a book about it from paula dietz. i have been to chicago quite a few times, and looked at lots of buildings. nevertheless, the other day, standing in the first nipple-crumbling cold of winter, i saw this view. the intensity of seeing it in person was quite surprising. it's not that it is so particularly amazing ... i was just struck by the variety of styles in such proximity. my kind of town :-)
