Lake Michigan

This picture was taken a couple weekends ago (& don't know who the Japanese tourists are, but they did wave after I stole their soul via this photo. They might not even be tourists, but they were talking in Japanese) somewhere between Belmont and North Ave along Michigan Ave. I really don't know why there are two big mounds of sand, but I assume that dump trucks lay the sand this way in early spring, and then the wind smoothes it into a beach, or a Chicago-style semblance of one at least.




Now playing in iTunes: Lightnin', from the album NYC Ghosts & Flowers by Sonic Youth (released 2000)
