As the sun slowly sets on the end of another wonderful weekend somewhere in the middle of nowhere! A much needed weekend getaway…

Early morning sunrise from the rooftop of Chicago’s Navy Pier…
well before the racing begins…

Headed home as the sun sets on the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

So much fun playing at the Sandwich location with such great potters & now-friends! Thanks to Cory for hosting… as well as Kenyon, Lindsey, Linda & Nancy (Burt) for making it such a fun weekend!

Driving north to Minneapolis last Thursday was so much fun… I love a good road trip… especially when you’re driving into the sunset. Plus great tunes on the radio & snacks on the seat next to you!!!

Dark & gloomy with a lot of clouds… and a very small sliver of possibility. I kept hoping that the sun would peek through… but alas, it was just clouds. Plenty of gray clouds & serene reflections.

Urban sunset tonight… colorful changes two minutes apart.

A room with a view… and a view with a room?!

As we were getting ready to start class tonight, we were treated with a beautiful sunset. So this is the sunset view I caught from the Lillstreet 2nd floor rooftop… and a cool reflection while ON the roof!!!

And that’s about as close as we came to seeing the sun today!
Well, the last three days… who am I kidding?!

Dramatic sunset effects drifting above Lillstreet… sometimes it pays off to look away… and to see what’s behind you even when a stunning sunset is in front of you!

As seen from the third floor at Lillstreet Art Center tonight.
I’m more of a sunrise guy… partially because our Chicago sunsets always have “something” in the way!
