Continuing on from last week's Chicago dominated post, this week we have more Chicago! This time focussing on the area near the Navy Pier, once a Navy training center, these days a crowd pleaser with carnival rides, restaurants & shops. And some incredible views of the city's skyline and lake Michigan. On the way to the pier passed through some very industrial looking bridges, which clearly were not meant as pedestrian passages, but do give some moody images. Also added a couple of photos from the 'L' tour , run by the Architecture Foundation, with a view of the Trump Tower. And the inside of the Symphony Center, where the tour started and ended. If you're in Chicago and want to know more about the city, I highly recommend one of the Architecture Foundation tours.

Scroll to the end if you want a taste of Scotland...

As promised here is a sneak peak of Scotland, from this Summer lovely excursion to the Highlands and the Outer Hebrides. Taken at the Port of Ness beach on Harris Island, the north most island of the Hebridean archipelago.

I'll be back next week with another batch of photos from Chicago's Millennium and Grant Parks.
