There is a mixed residential/industrial area on the north side of Chicago complete with an old cemetery and a retirement community. Years ago I remember driving through here and seeing a flash of water in a park. I tried to find that spot again but where it was supposed to be was closed off. I found an opening in the wrought iron fence and stepped into a tangle of weeds and debris. A clearing in the trees revealed a lagoon surrounded by grasses, flowers and a old Willow tree. Imagine my surprise as I watched the rising sun light up this peaceful scene.
