Welcome to Celia’s 2013 Zoo Lights souvenir!
A collection of night photographs
from a magical event
offering fresh views of our surroundings and one another.
Above, Café Brauer gleams amid festive lights and an icicle tree.
Mothers and their children begin an arduous night pilgrimage,
walking south toward the zoo from the conservatory.
The skyline, the zoo lights, even strangers’ faces, beam.
Chicagoans relax together under a dreamlike canopy, on a night when the temperature is nearly 50.
Remember being with your father when you were ten?
Engage in silly or serious photography, please.
A father attends to his daughter’s needs.
The synchronized light show, though corny, is impressive, too.
Come away with a warm feeling for the beauty of Chicago.
Merry Christmas, everyone, and Happy 2014!
