I used the Explore mode to find an interesting picture, and from there I chose to do a location search. At first I just typed 'Chicago' into the search bar, and was surprised to see that it offered me either Chicago, Illinois, or Chicago, Wisconsin. Never knew there was more than one! It brought up a map and thumbnails to about a gazillion (roughly) pictures, so I narrowed it to the Millenium Park, then to the Cloud Gate, and when I finally narrowed it down to 'at night' I was able to choose my favourite shot. I had seen the recently constructed park and gate (called 'the Bean' by Chicago locals) for the first time on a trip back to Chicago a few weeks ago, and that's how I decided to look for and share a picture of this fascinating piece of work. I made sure it was a public photo, and I'm giving credit to the photographer, Gary Becker.
I like that anyone can look at the photos on Flickr; I don't like that one has to have a specific e-mail account in order to sign in and have an account. (Or is there a way around that, that I haven't noticed?) I don't want to have to set up yet another account... isn't three- Hotmail, Gmail and Fontana- already more than enough?

I agree, KristinaBelina. It irritates me to have to create a million email accounts because this place only uses Yahoo and that place only uses Gmail, etc. etc.
By the way, remind me sometime to tell you about my nightmarish Chicago-post-Minneapolis evening. (That's Chicago, IL, not Chicago, WI, which I also was blissfully unaware of the existence of...)
