Iced Coffee: tomato tomato
I’m not normally a fan of tomatoes, but these tomatoes from St Georges Market last Saturday look very juicy and very tasty.

inphotos.org: Chicago Board of Trade
The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) is the world’s oldest futures and options exchange. It was established in 1948 and since 1930 has operated out of this building on 141 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago according to this Wikipedia page.
Possible Batman “The Dark Knight” spoilers ahead. Don’t read on if you’re going to watch the movie!
La Salle is the street directly in front of the building and the location of a scene in the latest Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”. Watch out for the statues and clock in the scene where Batman goes up against the Joker in his truck. It’s quite visible in the background. Moments later you can see the text, “Chicago’s finest …” in a shop window. I thought it was very sloppy of them not to hide those signs of the locality.

Many moons ago I posted the infamous Thieving Duck that went viral when someone robbed it, added a funny story and emailed it around. Apparently it’s been seen all over the world which is kinda cool. It even made it to snopes.com too!
Anyway, I can finally reveal a few more shots from that photoshoot in Chicago. All the talk about the new Batman movie got me digging into my old Chicago photos and I found these shots I took on State Street way back in 2005.

venividi.ie: symmetry - revisited
there is something reassuring in the fact that my favourite tree remains absolutely unchanged (the famous tree between Knockleigh and Knocknahowla Beg). the above photo was taken a week ago, while this one - exactly two years ago.
there's also a shot of this very tree by Gracjan, which he took completely independently.
-----------------
meanwhile - knowing that things here are safe and not prone to changes - i'm going to Poland, so next photo will appear here not earlier than ten days from now.
inphotos.org: Looking for a parking space
You’re in town and desperately looking for a parking place. Where do you go? All the on-street parking has either been removed because of road works or taken by everyone who went shopping at 9am. Just look up. There’s a multi storey carpark somewhere near you. Probably.
Front of the car park on The Grand Parade. Shot after I said goodbye to Phil and the others a few weeks ago.
