Rookery 04

Chicago

we got to the Rookery just as it was closing
the guard allowed us only a brief time to take photographs
this was taken by setting the camera on some stairs & using the timer
she would not let me use a higher stair point to set the camera
I should have slipped her $5
or brought a tripod


other sizes: small medium large original auto

sad to learn this ...the fellow in the picture worked for the Federal Government nearby & visited here often which may explain my good fortune ...he knew the place was closing, the light would be perfect sans flash & was not above shmoozing the guard, running interference for my snaps ...quite the wingman

security prevented me from photographing this... on the day that the Fed Chairman said we might be in a recession -- 2008
