I was just flipping through my photos from 2010 when I came across this one which I took during a short flight layover in a major international airport. The airport was a bit crowded, so it took me a long time to find a moment devoid of travelers. There’s something lovely and majestic and quiet almost about this. After I took the shot, I just kept wandering in and out and around the structure. Do you know where it is? I’ll give you one hint: I flew from Chicago with United Airlines to get here.

[…] Passport Delicious posted a photo of an Richard Serra installation at the Toronto airport and reminded me of a ‘ROAD-TRIP’ that I took a few years back with my Dad, Brother, and my Husband. The trip was 7 states in 7 days, a mystery tour of sorts, as I was the only one that knew each day where we were going and what we were doing. We started on Route 66 here in Chicago [Illinois], drove on to Springfield to see Lincoln’s home & tomb, then onto St.Louis [Missouri], and we continued from there to cover 5 other states [Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana].
