Sun/Moon -- City/Sand

QUESTION: What do you do when the bars are closing but you aren’t ready for bed?
ANSWER: Chicago's North Avenue Beach

Granted, it wasn’t exactly cool with the authorities that we were hanging out on the beach at four in the morning, but whatever, we really wanted to watch the dawn. We left Messner’s, stopped to pick up a couple bottles of cheap peach champagne, and headed east.
After a lot of running, ducking, bobbing and weaving (to avoid being seen by "the man" who works for the city driving the giant beach combing truck) we dove behind some foliage that offered us some protective cover and popped the corks.

To my left - Lake Michigan and a beautiful rising sun.
To my right - my favorite skyline and a setting moon.
