The Mid-Autumn Festival

It's also called the Moon Festival.

I drove to downtown Chicago to photograph the full moon rising out of the lake -- first time driving to Chicago in nearly 4 years!!

It was a perfect night with clear skies and soft winds... Reminded me of Michelle's childhood when we'd go to Navy Pier every month in the summer during full moon (usually July, August and September). September is usually the Moon Festival. 
 
We'd bring moon cakes and eat them after the moonrise. In fact, the routine was to watch the moonrise first, then got onto the ferris wheel, and then ate the moon cakes 200 feet above ground. 
 
Life was very simple back them. There was no heavy equipment or complicated devices -- just us with simple minds, small dreams and precious memories...
