These aren't really that great, but I love them.

The first one is taken from my favorite spot in Chicago. Just outside the front of the Shedd Aquarium, to the right, is a circular outcropping. This picture was taken on May 29th, 2013. I was there with my friend John. We (perhaps I should say 'he') had Cannoli at Boni Vino's earlier that day.

This one was taken on January 2nd, in almost the same spot. I couldn't get quite the same angle because of a massive mountain of snow I had to climb over to get to it, but I love this spot. I was with my friend John here too, and I turned around right after to grab a picture of him. He turned away a little, and with the big furry hood he was wearing, you can only see his nose, lips, and chin. It reminds me of (a more attractive) Han Solo from Empire Strikes Back.
