More Big City Sights

I remembered to take a picture of the Hebru Brantley Fly Boy statue outside the Chicago Children’s Museum.

While no one was posing under it in a Fly Boy stance as someone usually is, I noticed that the Harry Carey restaurant next door’s new photo opportunity was getting some action.

A popular posing opportunity downtown is the Wings of Mexico statue. One time, when I passed it on a bus, I was surprised to see that my younger daughter was the one posing on it.

Last weekend across the street from the wings, I spied an enormous champagne cork from the bus window on the way to the Blues Festival. It was gone by the time I went to take a picture of it, so I was glad to find that I could take a picture of the Wings instead and that they have stayed around longer than they were originally meant to.

And speaking of the Blues Festival since it was at Millennium Park, I snapped a picture of The Bean – the quintessential big city sight.
