Mountain, I assume, blocky at the peak, with brushy shrubbery in the foreground
Sunrise over a grassy landscape with dome trees. Clouds mass at the top of the picture but blue sky is visible below, still showing orange close to the horizon and a yellow sun appearing to rest on the ground. There was a lot more orange a little while before but I didn’t capture it

I am such a disappointment to my tour docent who expected us all to learn 25 facts. I have already forgotten the name of this building. It’s at the confluence of, um, two forks of the Chicago river? Anyway, I really like the way the parabolic bit reflects the river and that piece of art

Interpretive sign saying Pickleweed Salicornia pacifica The name pickleweed comes from the plant's pickle-like appearance and salty taste.
