      Wow, how did you get here? Yes, I had read how we were working on keeping our buildings cool and recycling CO2. A nice view of the Chicago Loop.

      Yes, the colours are wonderful. I like how the grass, flowers, and bird house (?) are more vibrant than the city background.

      RS - thanks! I was fortunate to get up there.

      railwalker de - thanks! 'green design' is quite popular right now. china is looking to chicago for inspriation, as beijing hopes to use green design in the construction for the 2008 olymipcs.

      finnigh - thank you!

      amka - thanks! birdhouse is correct - good eye!

      Very clever.....great accent on the colour-difference between city and city-garden.

      i love the nature/city contrast, and i especially love how the flowers and grass look more "real", dynamic and vibrant than the urban background. great shot.
