Michigan Avenue Morning Lights

This morning I had a strong desire to pedal downtown and shoot video of the Michigan Avenue Xmas lights before the traffic arrived. Well as it turns out the municipal Xmas lights are off in the morning. Fucking obvious right? Yeah, well I didn't find out till I rode down.  Here and there, there were some lights on, which I got.


I like hitting Mich Ave in the early morning cause I can pedal around without pedestrians stepping out in front of me or taxi's trying to run me over. Some kind of festival was being set up at the Tribune plaza around the Marilyn. Millennium Park has no security in the morning so I was able to ride my bike up to the ice rink which has ice on it, and around the Crown Fountain on the south end of the park. Can't do that later in the day. My final shots were at the Art Institute.
