North Pond 365/360

"A picture is worth a thousand words...". As a "North-ponder" armed with a camera, I think I am among the people who have photographed the North Pond the most. I have been living in the Lincoln Park, Lakeview and North Pond area for the past twenty years. And every week or so I take a stride around the Pond and photograph anything that I find interesting: the views of the pond, the geese, the turtles, the squirrels... the people, all year round. This website is some of my stories in pictures.

What a paradox that the remedy to the pandemic is to remain separated. This is an anti-pattern of the human condition and the society as a whole.
