Although this was taken last year I still felt the need to post. I came across a series of pictures I took last year from a gallery visit for Arte Ahora exhibit and realized I forgot to upload them to my flickr account. If still interested view the complete set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/chicagoceli/sets/72157623617159072/

Finally warmer weather in Chicago. Who knows how long it will last, but I am glad it is finally melting the ice and snow around us.

No, of course not. These are bulbs from a light post. When the snow falls in the evening I enjoy seeing the flakes more clearly under a bright light like this one.
