When I post photos from the North Park Village Nature Preserve, which is where I do almost all of my nature photography, that’s most of the upper half of that larger area near the top of the photo. There are actually two parks in that upper half, because, well, Chicago; the top right corner, where that snowy C is, is Peterson Park. (I don’t think the hawks and deer care, but the two parks have different rules for people.)

Anyway, the lower half of that area is senior housing and city buildings. South of that is Bohemian Cemetery, with LeBagh Woods tucked off from the cemetery’s southeast corner. The North Park Village complex is a half-mile on each side, so the nature preserve’s a quarter-mile from its northern to its southern boundaries. Fun fact: The nature center was, for decades, Chicago’s tuberculosis sanitarium, and you can still find remnants of those days around the park.
