Hi everyone!

Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page, from the city of Chicago Illinois USA.

The winter season in the Chicago area, can sometimes be notoriously long, cold, snowy and often very overcast.

I photographed this lonely scene of a deserted local Chicagp Park District playground, along South Keeler Avenue near West 57th Street in Chicago's Westlawn neighborhood near Midway Airport.

It was too cold for most anyone to be outside, and it looks like even the playground equipment can't wait for spring.

Chicago's winter of 2013, has been pretty dry with no snow, and temperatures fluctuating between the low 20's to upper 30's so far.

Thanks.
Eddie K.
