Every year I wake up one morning and this tree has gone from brown to fire engine red in a matter of hours and every year it blows my mind.

CTA train bridge over the river, with the Lawrence Street bridge seen beyond. The trees on the banks are losing their leaves and those left show very little color in the sunless murk. The flat sky and river are the same shade of leaden.

One of my favorite spots. McKinley Park

The view is from behind a bush with small pink flowers with yellow centers and green oval pointy leaves. On the other side of the bush is a pond, the sun, clouds and greenery reflecting on the water. On the left of the pond is a large tree. The pond is completely surrounded by greenery. The sky is bright blue with a few puffy clouds.

What do trees remember?
Until recently, little was known about how memory functions in trees which experience decades, even centuries, of shifting environmental pressures.

Mercy, this little tree (looks to be a lemon) is so good
Part of pic in original post: terra cotta panels depicting a small tree in a thatched container on a red brick facade. Fruit (yellow, lemony) and leaves (oval, pale green) fit in a rectangular panel with a vivid blue background.

You can tell these trees wait all year to go off like this & pull focus from the incredible brickwork & terra cotta of the facade

Christopher Elementary
Architect: John Charles Christensen, 1927
Color photo of a gabled entrance to a red brick building with prominent diapering. The gable has an archway, and framed within it is black scrolled metalwork accented by the silhouettes of two white squirrels dapping each other up. On either side of the arch and atop brick piers are polychrome terra cotta reliefs of fruit trees growing in pots. Real trees in extremely vibrant autumn finery lean into the shot to say hey. Color close up of the edge of one side of the gabled entrance, highlighting one of the polychrome terra cotta fruit trees of the facade. Sitting in a little cross-hatched terra cotta pot in shades of tan and dark brown, the tree's leaves and fruit stand out against a blue background that itself pops against the red brick of the building. A living tree to the left rudely draws focus, showing off gorgeous yellow and red leaves. Color photo of the roofline of a gorgeously detailed red brick building. A beautifully aged copper steeple sits atop the roof, but a scene stealing tree drips red, orange, yellow and green leaves in front of it all. Color detail of a band of tan stone corbels alternating with gorgeous brickwork. A tree aglow with luminous orange autumn leaves pretends it doesn't see you looking as it nonchalantly dips in from the top of the frame.

Still thinking about these fascinating composite stained glass windows I saw while walking around lincoln park last weekend. What a fun, colorful touch!!

#digicam #photo #photography #stainedglass #glass #chicago #architecture #design #art #film #city #color #diy
a brick residential structure in the vicinity of Chicago’s Lincoln park area is seen from behind some bare tree branches. Attention is drawn to the building’s two large rectangular windows which each feature a multicolored array of square stained glass panels, arranged in a quilt-like composite.
