Although this was taken last year I still felt the need to post. I came across a series of pictures I took last year from a gallery visit for Arte Ahora exhibit and realized I forgot to upload them to my flickr account. If still interested view the complete set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/chicagoceli/sets/72157623617159072/

Finally warmer weather in Chicago. Who knows how long it will last, but I am glad it is finally melting the ice and snow around us.

No, of course not. These are bulbs from a light post. When the snow falls in the evening I enjoy seeing the flakes more clearly under a bright light like this one.

Like any other major city, there are instances of traffic jams - Chicago is not the exception. I waited patiently for IDOT to clear the accident that I was stuck behind. What better way to let time pass by that to snap a picture.

This middle of the road 'garden' does the job to slow cars down but it annoys me.
