When Erica met me for a run during my last trip to Chicago, she wanted to make sure I saw the “swimmers” on Michigan Avenue.
Justice
The Swimmers On Michigan Ave
The official name of the exhibit is Monuments of Stillness. There are 10 different sculptures by Carole A. Feuerman along the Magnificent Mile section of Michigan Avenue.
We met at dark o’clock, so my first pictures don’t have much lighting.
The Diver
I like this side view of Justice with The Diver in the distance.
Patience
Bibi on the Ball
The Thinker
Monumental Quan
They’ll be gone by the next time I’m back in December, so I’m glad I saw them when I did!
Since I am joining the Tuesday Topics link up hosted by Jenny and Jenn, I’ll address the topic of the day:
How do you handle the busy holiday season without burning out?
I feel like this is cheating, but now that my kids are grown, my holiday season isn’t that busy with holiday things (it is a crazy time for work). I handle the holidays by focusing on things that bring me joy—baking cookies with my friends, baking pain-in-the-ass pies, eventually getting around to putting our tree up, and trying to do all my shopping at the last minute.
I’m also still participating in National Blog Posting Month. Learn more and see the list of participating bloggers here.
Does your city have public art exhibits?

Oh, I do love these swimmer sculptures!
One summer, Zurich had lions dotted around the city, each decorated differently and sponsored by local companies, institutions or individuals. A few years later, they did the same with a series of cows, followed by giant teddy bears. It was such a fun idea!
