MORE MILLENIUM PARK

millenium park is a jewel in chicago's crown. in addition to the fantastic cloud gate, the park boasts a curved bridge,  ampitheater and skyline.
there is a large garden in the park, which looks oudolf-inspired, and a little bit tired this time of year.
one of the two tower fountain sculptures, with the fountain off. the towers are made of transparent bricks with an lcd image behind them. the image moves to blink, smile, etc.
leaving the park one sees fantastic displays of annuals. in fact, most of the loop area and lakeside drive was festooned with orange, purple and green floral displays.
