Location for that first image is less than 1/2 mile from home, one of the possible physical rehab daily walk routes. The view are is very small as it is located between two empty lots surrounded by some trees then roof of houses that limit what is possible. Lens used was the canon EF 70-300mm DO (diffractive optics)zoom which has received much controversy, yet it has become one of the faves as it is small and lightweight for what it does.

Found this drone video of this general location on YouTube:

Thanks, Will continue to share images from the physical rehab walks here.

I do like the images you have been posting!

My wife says the plant I photographed is 'Lucky' bamboo. That may be a local name.

There it is 'Lucky Bamboo'!

I have a little story, while studying Performance Art at SAIC, we all did some odd things, also called 'Live Art' in EU

I made a public giveaway project for Chicago, as I had huge bamboo growing next door. 1999. Save a Plant, Wear a Plant

PET PLANT, Save Lucky Bamboo! My advisor severely condemned the project as extremely Racist.

That was their favorite method of teaching, condemn everything, smugly

I never did the 'performance', recently the same people were dragging chains on camera all over the Loop. I know them and saw the video

It's often not what you do, it's who you f###
