Lake Michigan opens out right in front of the Field Museum of Natural History. There’s a small area by the lake where the water meets the jagged rocks. Not many people go to that spot, especially this time of year. It’s cold and windy and not easy to get to or walk around in, but the view looking back onto the city of Chicago is breathtaking. You can see the shoreline and how it curves to meet these tall boxes that are lit up, bursting from the ground.
