Melting snow dripped down on these grasses growing next to a bridge in Chicago’s River West neighborhood. The water re-froze covering the plants and forming these ice nodules on the end.

I saw this “15 mph” sign sitting in the middle of the brush and found it quite fitting. But it wasn’t until I have the photos developed that I noticed the hand prints all over the metal drum. River West, Chicago.

This photo is not good, per-say, but it’s important to me. It’s an area of Chicago that I’ve been wanting to walk to for a while but never got up the nerve to do. It’s silly really, not going, but a couple weeks ago on a nice day I finally made it. I’ve seen coyotes out here. I’ve seen the plants and trees grow and grow since the buildings were torn down–the unstoppable forces of nature reclaiming the land.

Rain falls between a concrete seam of a bridge in Chicago’s West Loop. Dirt and rocks are washed out forming an alluvial fan of debris.
