Just wanna walk you through my morning today... SIT DOWN AND HAVE A LOOKSIE.

Millennium Park. If you're ever in Chicago, YOU MUST VISIT THIS PLACE. Almost all of the following pics are from within Millennium Park...

These are all awesome!

Except... why is that gold statue's head up the other statue's arsenal

Ahahahaha, I'm going to PM you and tell you what's funny about that first T-shirt picture.

 

[Forstride]

Wow...Awesome pictures!

I really liked the water pillar, and the shiny bean thing.

I also liked those gardens that you said were near the Modern Wing. Not sure why, they just look really cool. It doesn't seem like a typical garden, with all kinds of roses and tulips or whatever, but that's what makes it look awesome.

Your city looks incredibly clean, there's clearly some great architecture too. Seems like an inspiring city for a young student.

Now I really want to go to the US

Of fvck. Those photos are horrible /sarcasm. I could use them for my Photography event but they aren't mine...

Haha, at least, the downtown area is pretty clean. Everywhere else can get a bit too cluttered for my taste sometimes...

Now I really want to go to the US

And this was just one small park in one city! There's much better places to go around the rest of the country too!

I actually don't mind if you use them or not. (The hard part would be convincing them that you were in Chicago

)

These images are actually scaled down, if you want the original raw sizes, let me know.

If you don't mind me asking, what college do you go to?
