The Wave Restaurant in Chicago's W Hotel is not your typical tea room. Its sleek, sophisticated shades of gray punctuated by random red emphasize the clean lines of the sunken lounge in the middle of the room.

The Coast in the Middle
Photo Essay written 2 July 2008
Chicago may be urban, Midwestern, hardworking. But it's not often celebrated for its lighter side on the east: a sparkling lake sprinkled with sailboats. Though when you think about it, sailing here makes perfect sense. We are the Windy City, after all.
Starting to sparkle
Soon, the streetlights forming a ribbon along Lake Shore Drive will be joined by thousands of glittering bulbs downtown. It's even more dramatic when contrasted with the inky black lake and seen from the peaceful hush of a sailboat.

One final glimpse, for today
We love the sun here in Chicago, especially viewed from a sailboat in Lake Michigan. We don't see this friend very often, so we make time to enjoy it at all costs.

Lined up and watching
Downtown Chicago turns its face to the setting sun, watching as it slips off to Iowa. We were watching, too, as the wind pulled us along.

Windy City, Full Sails
One of Chicago's often overlooked assets is its amazing coast, where a sailing community thrives. Water glitters to the east of this pretty city as far as the eye can see.
