The Lights of Union Train Station

Light at Union Station Chicago

Take a look at what I saw on my stroll through Union Train Station today! How beautiful is this! Truly it takes one back to a ‘gilded age’ of traveling, don’t you think?

I hope your day is an enlightened one!

      Isn’t it, Suzie? I had to take a photo of it! Sometimes we forget the beautiful things in our everyday surroundings (at least I know I do)! Cher xo

    We often pass such items without a second glance as we rush through our working lives. An image that gives a moment of pause – well spotted Cher 🙂

      We really do, don’t we? I cannot tell you how many times I’ve walked in that area and yet, it was only today I noticed this lovely light from the past. Ah, thank you for that!!! Cher xo

    A reflection of the days when one “dressed up” to travel… after all, only the “well-heeled” could afford to travel in style. Great post!

      Ah, thank you, John! That is so true, isn’t it? All dressed up and treated like a king or queen on board! Truly this light is a wonderful reminder of a very interesting travel past! Thank you, John!! Cher xo

    Amazing, it’s really worth looking around the spaces we know.

      Isn’t that the truth, Hilary? I was quite amazed at my lack of noticing this beautiful and historical piece! Cher xo

      Isn’t it, Don? I tried to envision what it must have been like, “back in the day” when these gorgeous pieces of art were commonplace! Cher xo

    Ah! So lovely, Cher. Not only the lamp, but the marble! For sure, it’s a step back in time. Thanks.

      Oh you noticed the marble, dear Carol! Yes, it took me a while to notice that (what on earth am I doing when I walk around?) *LOL* I felt that step back in time for sure, Carol! It was splendid! Thank YOU! Cher xo

      Ah, bless you, dear Lorrie! Thank you so much for that! I am truly grateful when I do notice these things, because I must say, I often don’t think I do! Blessings to you as well, dear friend! Cher xo
