Feliz Navidad

70 Degrees...Somewhere


Recently the weather in Iowa has been a bit warmer than usual with very little precipitation....so, no complaints from me; however, it's still cold.  So, this dreamy shot of a rooftop pool fills a void -- doesn't hurt to dream a little.  Meanwhile, back to reality as winter officially arrives this coming Friday.

"Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full dazzling."
                                                                                                                    --Walt Whitman

December


"December's wintry breath is already clouding the pond, 
frosting the pane, obscuring summer's memory...."
                                                                   --John Geddes

Puzzled


This image is of the The Rookery Light Court in downtown Chicago.  The building is one of the Windy City's earliest commercial skyscrapers and Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the structure's main architects.  Anyway, it's a delightful place to visit and tours are available that allow access to photograph this spectacular feature.  And, since this shot would make a very challenging jigsaw puzzle, I added the pieces to provide that effect.  Don't get dizzy.
