OMG, I *love* this photo, Diane! Hey, is that the Harold Washington Library? I learned on a CAF tour that the library architecture is a "mish mash" of styles based on the idea that the inside of the library contains information on all kinds of topics so the outside should reflect all kinds of styles. Cool, huh?
Creepy eyeball..and yes, I know I have two..but it looks kinda creepy that large...)))) Wonderful architecture in the backdrop building...
It is in fact the Harold Washington Library! Good eye, Monica! harhar
I think this would give me nightmares. Though when I first saw a photo of it, I thought it was Mike from Monsters Inc!
