Chicago Forest Preserves
Jun. 11th, 2010 03:07 pmOn my previous-to-most-recent trip to Chicago, I dealt the irritation of the city to going to a lot of forest preserves. Specifically, McDowell Grove County, Blackwell County and Thatcher Woods. The set is here.
These little places of wild are interesting. They're unbuildable, so they're set aside for nature and given little trails. Then the citizens of Chicago dress up in remarkably tight-fitting clothes, put on headsets (so they can't hear the nature) and sunglasses (so they can't see the nature) and then jog through the preserves so that the nature can't get at them. (I am, of course, being completely unfair here... some of them are on bikes.)
I really like how some of these turned out.
