A few pics from Chicagoland, the beginning of a photo journal project, a journal will be written for future cities as the project is just in it's infancy. Just a few pics for tonight, more to be uploaded over the coming days, so stay tuned (easter weekend's up so I'll have all the time in the world to post more pics, bas I have so many of them). Enjoy, remember, more to come :) (an no, despite rain being romantic, there was only a drizzle on the day the foggy pics were taken).

Waiting for the rest of the pics :) Good luck on ur project :)

^^ what reaction?? loool
nice pictures greg, you shou post them slightly bigger

thanks! wallah shokran mate! I forgot to add to the first post that the rules of the project are you're not allowed to do your home city (for instance, I'm not allowed to do Baltimore, my friend's not allowed to do New York and so on...) :)

Nadini - these are hosted on flickr, these are the first I've uploaded there so I'll play around with it a bit and see if I can get larger pics (I prefer flickr over photobucket since flickr's faster :))

^^ what reaction?? loool
nice pictures greg, you shou post them slightly bigger

Reaction on 'How Romantic' koz i know u don't find this romantic.I think winter is romantic,while u think the opposite :D remember?

^^ eh bass shou khass fog lol, ANYWAYS greg you should post the pictures when you went to Chicago

yeah I know, I just didn't have access to the net outside of my aunt's computer, and I couldn't transfer my photos onto her computer because of no network ;) (edit : I'm trying to figure out how in the world to add photos :()

More (feeling nice tonight so uploading what will be my last batch for tonight, walla)

These photos were taken on the day of the Shamrock Shuffle (the world's largest 8k marathon) so that explains all the green, the iPod pic is just a shameless plug on my part since I was wearing mine until I got up the the marathon (awesome atmosphere, great music so I took the earbuds out)

^^Oh,NICE pics,u really know how to take pics :)

But a bit Dull , u agree? the city i mean :crazy:

^^omg?! Chicago and similar places do the word 'CITY' justice, it's amazing! after all it's the birthplace of the skyscraper (before nyc i.e.)

Thanks! Hassoun, I have to disagree with you on this one, Chicago is probably the cleanest city in North America, it's huge, the people are so nice, there's always something going on (even bicycle races at midnight) and the city is always busy no matter what. Fantastic city, if anyone's planning on visiting North America, Chicago is a MUST! :)

Nice pics :)

Its my Second Fave City in the States!

cheers lads! I'm working on a way to get more pics up since Flickr has limited bandwith apparently, gonna get them on photobucket (and the fact that I'm running out of pics for now :P)
