It's a picture of Chicago reflected in "The Bean."
Cloud Gate in Millennium Park
Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States.
If you in a high rise hotel, the ground wasn't moving, you were! Buildings are designed to move back and forth in the wind. I felt the same thing years ago in a NYC hotel. Once you live through a quake you won't forget it, the last one I felt was last year was a 4.5 that was directly beneath my place in the East Bay (over the hills from Oakland). I was asleep and it took a few seconds to realize what was going on. We have had 3 earthquakes today north of us, I did not feel any of them. Usually in the range of 1.5 to 2.5. We had 360 earthquakes in the last 365 days! Welcome to California
Yeah, I knew that, but the 3AM mind farts played games during the night. Free associating what would/could happen if 'The Big One' hit. I was in the CN Tower during a 'windy day'. Not enough to close it down, but you could feel it swaying a little.
I also saw a building counter weight on a tour of a building. They exposed the thing, and it had marks inn the side of it where it apparently made contact with the structural members surrounding it. I was fascinated with how it worked, and wondered the process of getting it hung there during construction. Wow...
I remember an older gentleman commenting on fears. He said he's not afraid of falling, he's afraid of gravity. 'Look what it's done to my body!', pointing at the sagging skin, and his face. 'Gravity sucks!' he said to laughs. He was a delight...
TANGENT: Army brat, dad was stationed in Washington state. One morning, we had an earthquake. It was rather strong, and the mom freaked out. We lost a bunch of antiques and a few paintings off the wall. For a kid who hasn't felt the Earth move, yet, it freaked me right out... I was amazed at how some friends in California are so meh about earthquakes. I called them after a 'large' earthquake, and they were 'Hey, what's up?' So you had an earthquake? 'Yeah, didn't even knock anything off the shelves. I didn't even actually feel it. The wife did.' Hmm. I guess you can get used to anything.
Did you feel the ground moving?
I've experienced only one quake that I did not experience in 1978/79. I was living in Jerusalem and was walking to school when it hit. It was so mild that only people in buildings felt it.
Mrs. Diver went to undergraduate and graduate school in Cincinnati. She got home from class one day and turned on the TV. An earthquake hit at precisely the moment she pressed the button. She felt very empowered in that moment.
All this talk of earthquakes has made me uncertain, so at the slightest rumbling I am ready to float like a

It was lying on the pavement recharging itself in the sun after a flutter with another of a different gender ...
As you can see, I spotted it out walking and then closed in on it taking photos with iPhone, trying all the time not to cast my shadow.
I saw these trees with purple foliage and really liked how they contrasted with the green foliage on other trees. Picture taken at the Battelle Darby Creek Park near my favorite jogging trail.
Unfair, so playing this classic and changing the topic to stations or road works
Did somebody say roadworks? (signs for detours due to construction)
I thought we were playing according to Tudor Court Rules,

There should just need to be some association with the prior picture. sometimes it can be hard to determine, at first.
I have to admit, the latest change has me stumped, but that is OK - that isn't too hard to do (stump me).

Oh dear. And there was me thinking that it was you @Captain Trips who was out of order by changing the theme
Not at all:Oh dear. And there was me thinking that it was you @Captain Trips who was out of order by changing the theme
- When I posted after your butterfly on sidewalk picture, I matched the foliage colors in your picture to my picture. I know this was the second butterfly picture you posted, so I used the most recent one. It could be the 2 pictures in a row threw me off, but I honestly don't mind someone responding to their own picture where it makes sense, like it did here.
- When I posted after @jz0309's picture, I matched the water (creek/stream/river).
. Yes, let's just enjoy the journey, as Spike Milligan once (or twice) said, "the reason for this is obscure, that's why the higher, the fewer"I think we all have been pretty light on the rules, there are multiple "associations" where I scratched my head, at the same time, I think @mollyc's comment was fair too. And also, as the title says, it's a "game" so let's move on to photos.
Of course, if @deep diver breaks the rules, that is an entirely different story ?
