CALUMET FISHERIES
Website: Known for smoking it's own seafood on site. "Smoking fish our way is a disappearing art. We marinate the fish in brine overnight, then use only special oak logs to stoke our fire. We carefully tend the fish for hours... all to bring out its naturally delicious flavors.-- I've been a customer for years.

A SLICE OF THE SKY
CMC's "Cloudscape" is a favorite challenge. I go back through it occasionally. Those stunning captures lift me out of this room to places in Chicagoland I've never been -- to colorful, wonderful cloud scenes in -- as the song says -- morningtime & eveningtime & summertime & wintertime." There's a website called "Cloud Appreciation Society" with cloudscapes from around the globe. I like these parts of their motto about clouds. "We think they are nature's poetry and the most egalitarian of her displays, since everyone can have a fantastic view of them. --- We pledge to fight "Blue Sky Thinking" wherever we find it. Life would be dull if we had to look up at cloudless monotony day after day."

A CUT ABOVE
I came across this crew working the Jackson Park Golf Course. Several trees had the orange ribbons around their trunks and they had no leaves. I have a shot of this tree from 10-2-2010. It had this large fungus running up the trunk for about 12 feet, which is the reason I took the shot. All of those with the ribbons deserved to come down. And this crew was very efficient.

TAGGERS
Unpaid, unsolicited and vandalizing. But this unknown artists has that same creative urge as legitimate artists. And unlike unattractive graffiti -- which I hate and think that somebody should be arrested for defacing private and public property -- this artist created something attractive to me. I'll leave it to the railroad security to do something about it other than to release a shutter. Did you know that in the heyday of spray painting, Chicago banned the sale of spray paint. (5 UNs) I can see my high school English teacher writing a big red "redundant" on my paper. A rail line on 95th street.
