Rare Rainbow. Today's Chicago sunrise with rain in the west and a crack in the east horizon provided the light on the first day of June 2026. #chicago #news #ilwx #weather

Maybe not the greatest, but one of my favorites: the Guardians of the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge pylon. Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Built in 1932 in art deco style, they display the confidence and verve of a society even during a disaster like the Great Depression. Societies in decline just don’t express themselves like this.

Any American, large, art deco monuments fall into this category for me.
