The Chicago Cultural Center

This was my second visit to the Chicago Cultural Center, at the urging of a friend.  My husband Fernando and I had recently made a quick trip in to see Vivian Maier's street photography exhibit, and left the building to walk around other parts of the city.  Yesterday, Joseph and Danny dutifully followed me around while I walked down hallways and around corners that we missed.  I have two words to describe what I still can't believe we missed the last time:  grandeur and splendor.

I lay on my back and looked up to get this last image.


I'm definitely going to stop in the Cultural Center on a future trip.  Breathtaking.

Living life; capturing life.
