I used to work in Chicago/the loop, across the street from the building on the frthest left in that pic, on the 26th floor, and used to see Lake Shore Drive every night when I left ot walk to the train. Chicago is a fun town. I never felt unsafe.

Nice visual on the atmosphere Oceans.

Hope there's a shower room nearby. Might need to take a cold one solo if I don't behave.

Of course.  A gentleman paces himself slowly depending on dating stage with the lady.

I spent about 10 days in Chicago, had the best fun. Only scary time was when we got a bit lost just outside the City ending up in a not so good neighbourhood - drove into a service station to ask directions and it suddenly became surrounded by police, (it was being robbed at the time) so we promptly left.

A volcano in Indonesia produces blue lava!

oh my !!! what gas or minerals there???

It didn't say it's me.  But I looked it up and found this info on Huffington Post:

You've heard of "red hot" and "white hot" to describe searing temperatures. But what about "blue hot"?

That's the surreal hue of Indonesia's Kawah Ijen Volcano, which glows with an otherworldly "blue lava" at night. The mountain contains large amounts of pure sulfur, which emits an icy violet color as it burns, turning the rocky slopes into a hot (at least 239 degrees Fahrenheit), highly toxic environment.

Despite the dangers, photographer Olivier Grunewald captured the scene, along with a group of men who toil on the volcano at night, battling noxious gases to mine sulfur from the crater and carry it out by hand.

Miners carry between 176 and 220 pounds of sulfur chunks per trip and sell the pieces for around 2.5 cents per pound. Yahoo reports they average two loads every 24 hours, thereby doubling their salaries amid sulfurous flames that can reach 16 feet high.

The volcano is the subject of a new documentary -- produced by Grunewald and Régis Etienne, the president of Geneva's Society of Volcanology -- released earlier this month. (See the trailer, in French, below)

thanks for explanation

Now that would be a sight, amazing, simply amazing
