支加哥奧黑爾机場: 來也怱怱,去也怱怱 / Chicago O'Hare Airport: Life is Always Such a Hurry


I was in Chicago's O'Hare Airport rushing btwn gates to make my connecting flight. Still I stopped and snapped a few pictures as people were running all around me. Is life always such a big hurry? I barely had three seconds to reflect before people pushed me back into the moving crowd. The space where I was quickly filled up.

I held on to my three seconds.

Was/ Is the dinosaur Skelton display still there?

Big Brother Fresh, see mapyou may probably landed at the international terminal 5 and no seeing.

匆匆忙忙。慢慢拖拖。盲与忙。还是过了。捕捉霎那,记得走过了,是人生的一段。

Michelle: Thanks !!

San Wen Ji: It seemed everybody was trying to catch a plane, or something.

Space:

You are absolutely correct regarding the Terminal One location.

I did not see any dinosaur skeleton display though.

Hyacinthus:

I am back home. The photo was taken on my way back from New Orleans via the O'Hara Airport.

Yes, the flue is becoming increasingly a concern in public places.

imak:

According to Wikipedia: "... The original 1955 passenger terminal for international flights, was replaced with the modern Terminal 1, designed by Helmut Jahn, in 1987 ..."

I saw only one person wearing a mask at O'Hara.

Haricot 微豆 said...

啤酒花™_J: 也是啊!

Haricot 微豆 said...

新鮮人: The photos were taken in the "Gershwin Tunnel" at O'Hare Airport between concourses B and C in Terminal 1, operated by United Airlines (ref: Wikipedia)

BTW, I mis-spelled the airport name a few times. It is O'Hare and not O'Hara.
