@polebird: ❤️ Urban scenes from Millennium Park in Chicago ❤️
Hi my lovelies! I'm finally posting part 3 of my Chicago series (which I got side tracked on) featuring the urban oasis Millennium Park. Millennium Park is a beautiful space in downtown Chicago where art, architecture, exhibits, people, and urban planning come together. Each time I have visited Chicago, I always spend a day enjoying this park!
The Jay Pritzker Pavilion has a fabulous stage where free performances are held weekly each summer. The great lawn connected to the pavilion is a multipurpose space. From early morning fitness classes (zumba, yoga) open to the public to the evening concerts -many people gather here to enjoy the outdoors.
Lurie Garden is another amazing space of Millennium park. In contrast from the modern Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the garden boasts perennial blooms that run wild, yet still still has some structure. I really enjoyed spending some time in this peaceful garden. The air here has a fresh fragrance.
I got excited when I saw the outdoor climbing wall, but unfortunately didn't have enough time to climb it.
The park also has an awesome playground for kids to play on.
Haha, I took a turn one early morning when there were not much people around. :)
This next photograph is an unique art installation of face fountains. The face on the fountain constantly changes (different people), blinks, makes faces, and even spits out water.
The famous bean of Chicago aka Cloud Gate also calls Millennium Park home. I love the way the bright lights of the city's nightscape reflects off of the shiny metal surface at night and amplifying the effects.
Thanks for reading! Happy Tuesday my friends!
Love,
Jess

Want to have your post on the map too?
Hey Jess! How good is that first photo? You look super angelic, well done photographer!
Hahaha, that photo of you going down the slide is so good. I've been to the suburbs of Chicago so many times but never actually been to the city... I'll have to make an effort, it looks so good!
Would you mind editing this and putting it on the @steemitworldmap? It'll help others in the area, and @steemitworldmap do a daily Travel Digest which you might make it on. It's super cool!
Great post Jess!
