A day out with friends at the AIC!!

With mercury rising, a great place to beat the summer heat is the Art Institute of Chicago [AIC].. Here's a few photographs with my two friends Hilary and Rizza..
Date: May 25th, 2010..







From ancient to contemporary, from meeting with Goddess Tara, to empathizing with Edward Hopper's Nighthawks..







From admiring the elaborately stenciled [original] Stock Exchange Trading Room.. to .. snacking at the lovely McKinlock Court.. We enjoyed it all, with equal doses of seriousness and tomfoolery!
