Welcome to my world! I always thought it would be fun to be the ruler of my own place, and now I can be! I see it as an island within a big city full of life, culture and lots of laughter. Consider yourself a citizen.

Good things come in three's




Millenium Park in Chicago is an international showcase for public art and green space in an urban environment. Frank Gehry designed the new music stage, top, and bridge.

Another great piece is the Cloud Gate, known locally as The Bean, by Anish Kapoor. The sculpture has since been completed, in that, the seams you see here have been polished away.

Lastly, the Crown Fountain, designed by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, features two 50-foot high glass block towers at each end of a shallow reflecting pool. The towers are activated with changing video images and lights, and water cascades from the top of each, and surprises many when the face spits a stream of water into the pool.
