#207 Evanston’s Shore of Lake Michigan

Aditya — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 03:02:06 +0000

This Saturday, I headed to a random place in Evanston, The Grosse Point Lighthouse. The place was just fine, well maintained over the century, but what caught my eyes, and certainly my camera’s lens, was the beautiful Lake Michigan once again :)

Wanna see the pics?

I stay pretty close to the Northwestern University, and the city of Evanston is kind of centered around the NU Campus. NU was founded by John Evans, and the city of Evanston owes its name to him!

Kellogg School of Management, one of the top ranked management schools in the world. Noteworthy alumni list includes Philip Kotler and Andris Zoltners (The “Z” in ZS:)

The Grosse Point Lighthouse was the first lighthouse on the North Chicago shore and is a historic place.

Lake Michigan, ever so blue, just like the sky above :)

Hero No. 1 :P

Have feet, will travel :)

Some go fast…

And some just sail with the wind :)

Some walk ever so elegantly on the sands, touching the waves as they touch the shore…

Maple leaves, fallen in fall…

Navy Pier

Navy Pier at night, with the giant Ferris Wheel

Fireworks to wrap it up…

Note: These fireworks were captured without using any tripod. Do you think I have graduated as a better photographer? :)

#205 Evanston

Aditya — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 17:08:55 +0000

So here I am, far far west this year!

Flew to Chicago on Sep 15th for office work and it seems I would be here for a few months before going back to Indo.

Where I stay and work is located by the shore of Lake Michigan, the largest fresh water lake completely inside USA. It is absolutely blue and very beautiful from the shore. Here are some pics from the shore in Evanston.
