Show them to us please.

I cannot show them here. They are not Large Format.

But they look just like yours.

Tonight I will actually PRINT them with an enlarger.

And NOT show them here, for the above reason.

I googled and got more info about the Pavilion.

"Studio Gang Architects‘ design for the South Pond Pavilion was inspired by the tortoise shell. It features pre-fabricated wooden planks that have been interconnected and milled to form the curving structural members. The top of the pavilion is covered semi-transparent fiberglass pods, which let light filter in while still protecting those underneath. Yoga classes and other educational programs use the pavilion regularly.

The pavilion is part of a larger redevelopment of the pond at the Lincoln Park Zoo designed by Studio Gang. Their project largely consists of rehabilitating a dilapidated, 19th century urban park pond fed by city tap water into an exhibit on pond life. The depth of the pond was increased to improve oxygenation for aquatic life, and a wetland was engineered along the water’s edge with new plantings and drainage to encourage new wildlife and vegetation. A boardwalk made from recycled plastic now circles the pond and includes educational kiosks."

It sure is a much nicer place than it was 30 years ago.

I plan to go back often.

If we ever need some storms, you folks should just schedule a Chicago LFP meeting. We had about 3/4" hail here. How was it down by you?

We just missed the bad parts, which evacuated Grant Park. That was about 3 pm. I was in cave and never noticed it.

Later about 11 pm Rogers Park was hit hard and farther North Grayslake HS roof was removed, my brother is 2 miles from that and I still have not heard from him.

During our meeting all was pleasant, with nice clouds...but windy.

I think my brother is OK, nothing on news about his area...

We try to meet first Sunday.

I emailed them to my LFPF close friends.

To repeat David's announcement.

Randy, Thanks. We will meet this Sunday. Weather looks good, indeed.

We formed our group a year ago today!
