Here is a day out at the beach.  This is Illnois Beach State Park about an hour north of Chicago.  From this beach you can see the tallest building from the city. On the far right its the Willis Tower then in the middle its Trump Tower and three from the left in is the Hancock building. I forget the names of the other tall ones.  This beach can get windy and someone took advantage by flying a large kite.  Plenty of sailboat were out too. Fortunately no seadoos making noise this time.  It was mostly relaxing, not too hot and the water wasn't quite too cold.  I wish I went to this side of the beach over here to get the little island of seagulls on the right.  Easy sailing for this guy. Sometimes the wind can be so strong it will nearly tip over these smaller sailboats.  These guys were paddleboarding the entire edge of the lake. Maybe they paddled all the way up from Chicago.  That's all for now, nice clean water and fun.

What a nice place to be. It's funny to see people resting, and next to them is a colony of seagulls, probably dissatisfied with the presence of people. 😄

I suspect those seagulls were sniping some lunch treats from the beachgoers. I saw loads of strange sand swallows there too they made sand nests but were too fast to catch in a shot. Their nests were quite deep too.
