Parting Shots at the Lake

I couldn't resist the pun, given that I was taking photos of Lake Michigan during my last week in Chicago. These were taken yesterday, both at a lakeside park on Granville and Sheridan and at Loyola University's Lakeshore campus. Many of the shadows cast on the water come from nearby buildings. The Lake definitely helps to make Chicago a humid place during the summer, much to my annoyance, but it is also a beautiful sight to see, especially on crisp, clear days in autumn, when cool refreshing winds blow in. I also like to see the choppy waves crash in during more tumultuous weather. It's like the Lake possesses a variety of moods, each so different from the others. At any rate, enjoy!
