It's Halloween. And most of my neighbors decorated their gardens accordingly. But maybe this is just a small training for their very big christmas decoration this year.

Chinatown in SF
Yet some further impressions from San Francisco.
Local Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in North America and most likely the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. Its unique flair makes it definitely worth a visit whenever you come to the City of the Bay.

Evanston in Fall
Days are getting shorter, temperatures are going down and leaves are falling. It's fall in the Midwest.
And alongside with a lot of rain and very cold nights there are actually some pretty nice sunny days.

Chicago Skyline
The impressive Chicago Skyline is always worth a view.
During daytime ...

... at night ...
... or even in black and white.
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
Indiana only has 65 kilometers of Lake Michigan shoreline in the very south, though, these are propably one of the nicest coastal parts of the fifth greatest lake in the world. The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore runs for 35 kilometers along the southern coast of Lake Michigan and offers a beautiful arrangement of sand dunes, nice beaches and woodland forests.
And in case of clear sight, even the Chicago skyline can be sensed over 50 kilometers away.

One of the Biggest Comebacks ...
... in NHL history and we were part of it!
On Monday 10/12/09 the Chicago Blackhawks hosted the Calgary Flames at the United Center but the first period did not go well for the Hawks. After scoring five goals in only 5:29 minutes, the Flames led 5-0 after 11:43 and it seemed to become a quite disappointing night.
But than they fought back ...
... and the rest is history.
After rallying from five down and beating the Flames 6-5 just 26 seconds into overtime the Blackhawks tied the NHL record for the biggest deficit overcome and the crowd in the madhouse on Madison Avenue finally went crazy.
Eleven goals, storming atmosphere, what a remarkable game!!!
