The United States is a dream of life. The trip to this country was literally laid, it is very difficult to get a visa to the states. Nevertheless, we have achieved this and our journey began with a wonderful city, called Chicago (Illinois).
Chicago has several nicknames and each of them will be able to give an explanation. Is it called the "city of skyscrapers"? Not surprising!
The city here and there is just a stubble skyscrapers, of different height, shape and design. There is a feeling that you get into the world of the future, where modern highlights compete with each other, who is the first to reach the sky. Style of structures - High Tech, Modern, call as you want, but on our land there will be no such abundance of modern skyscrapers, it certainly.
In the photo, by the way, the Buckingham Fountain is depicted in the Grand Park. He has a brother located in the Millennium Park. If the first fountain is made under the antiquity (it has a lot of similarity with one of the fountains of Versailles), then the second is a hilewing structure. It is called differently: "Fountain-screen", "spindle fountain" ... everything is because it is two glass plates interconnected, with built-in screens, on which human persons constantly appear and disappear. Somewhere at the level of the mouth there is a pipe, from where there is a water pressure from time to time.
This is a favorite place of the Death, which comes here to have fun, pour in the water, in one word - to take the soul.
The center of Millennium Park decorates "beans" gigantic sizes. This can be said, the highlight of the city, emphasizing its non-standard, special style and peculiar beauty. A mirror sculpture has become the center of attention of many tourists. It is not only for her to look at her not only from all states, but even as we, tourists from afar, who arrived to take pictures here.
The second nickname, the "city of winds", Chicago received for the strongest wind blowing in these places. In the center of the city, under the protection of the surrounding skyscrapers, the wind is practically not felt, but it is worth going to the shore of Lake Michigan, as you literally blows away from air gusts. We are pretty annoyed, so we spent most of the time in the city.
Next we were waiting for delicious Las Vegas. To be continued...
