Description


Happy Birthday Marylin! A little birdy told me of a birthday and so in honor of birthdays, beaches and beachzz, I've decided to actually get up off my skinny butt and finally post a picture that I've been wanting to post for a while. This is a beach in Chicago, complete with a pier; okay, it's not that much of a pier. It's more of a tongue of concrete extending eastward into Lake Michigan, but I suppose if you're an ant it's quite impressive in size. As a human, it's still impressive in size, but not like it would be for an ant, or not as impressive as something you'd see in California. But it's a pier, and it's a nice beach. Woodlice live in the park not to far away, and so it's perfect. Corey and I once lived in walking distance from this spot, and so it has quite a few pleasant memories attached to it...some of those memories involve model cars, Star Wars action figures, and people drumming into the night on particular holidays. Whenever I see this picture, I think of Marilyn and her love of beaches...well, she loves rivers and muscle cars too. I couldn't find (or make) a picture of a GTO on a pier, but I at least got something close to a pier. And so, Happy Birthday Marilyn...hopefully this is one of those birthdays that keeps giving you gifts all year long.

This is so wonderful and fascinating. Living relatively close to the ocean, I admit I've never given much thought to the Great Lakes. Seeing your picture, I finally realize the immensity of the matter. The lakes where I live, you can see the other shore and in my mind, that's a lake. By my reckoning, Lake Michigan is an inland sea. It must be rather wonderous to live by an inland sea and one heck of a birthday present!

The colour palette here is breathtaking, and the textured quality of the water looks almost like ice (although it obviously isn't!) - you've captured a beautiful tranquil mood here, which remind me of the Oia sunsets on the Greek island of Thira. Very nice dedication too!
