A view outside of Europe’s 3rd largest airport, AMS, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. It was very busy and huge, it took us several minutes to reach our meetup spot inside the airport. I took the picture while we were waiting outside the airport for our bus that would take the group to the hotel.

Flying to Chicago

Skywatch Friday:

My Skywatch Friday photo is taken from the ‘sky’, of the ever-changing beauty that was endless, aboard an airplane bound to Chicago. It was a good flight though it was so cloudy at that time.

Holland landing view

A view of The Netherlands from our descending airplane Equipment 762. We had such a long almost 10 hour flight and it was a beautiful wet sight to wake up to, knowing we almost made it to our destination, safe so far, and finally about to land on Netherlands’ main international airport, the AMS, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Ah, no matter how smooth or turbulent the flight, the most important thing is that we all make a safe landing in every journey we take, right?

Millenium Park

A view at the Millennium Park right across from the Philippines Consulate in Chicago. This was right before noon one winter in the windy city. I just visited the city for two days and I had pretty much seen points of interests that I need to see, huh, the forever structure fanatic of me. Do you know the name of the buildings on the background?

“T” for Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal, monument of love. It is a very impressive work of art with a grand story behind it. We entered the compound’ at 8:30 in the cold morning, and we were out by about 10:30 A.M. And I realized, ‘what’s the hurry?, the “moon is full”! which also makes a very nice view at night by the way

ABC Wednesday – T

Jay Pritzker Pavilion Bandshell

At the Millennium Park, a view of the trellis over the Great Lawn, and the beautifully-designed bandshell at Jay Pritzker Pavilion with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower on the backdrop. The Pavilion has been the venue since 2004 of the great Grant Park Music Festival, a Chicago tradition since the Great Depression. Speaking of entertainment to lift depressing spirits! In the practical part of life, our simple act of kindness and understanding might just what other people need to make their day. I really enjoyed the experience.

In Paris

No one indeed dreams of being in Paris alone, even having a company just for the sake of taking your photo, hahaah, joke; everything in life is enjoyable if you have someone to share things with, to enjoy and explore places together, and what better place than with romantic ambiance? Paris or anywhere in Europe or the world, it is my dream to conquer them one day, alone or not. Reminds me of the movie “Eat, Pray, Love”.

Skydeck ledge

A view taken from the ledge of the skydeck of Willis (Sears) Tower in the windy city of Chicago. Grrrr.. When I think of it my feet still feel like shaking, whoaahah.. It was an amazing and definitely unforgettable experience for me, to roam around the city in the dead of winter and making it to the top of the one of the tallest buildings here.

Alone?

I haven’t heard from one of my college classmates for several years, and oh how much has changed since our school days. He was looking at this picture and wondered if I am alone in this quiet and ‘cold’ place. I’m not, always, and it will not be quiet soon..

Yellow

Photograph I took in the fields, of black eyed susans. Beautiful wild flowers, a delight to the eyes, and make perfect wonderful subjects for flower and nature photographers.

Tip from nature: yellow matches just right with black, cool and sunny .
