Those shots are amazing, Betsy.
I take the Red Line every day in Chicago. Unfortunately, mostly what you see is the backside of all the brick three-floor walkups, and then you go underground. However, I do pass Graceland Cemetary:

I also pass Wrigley Field (I'm sure BrianJ. will be pleased). Oh and I also have the view of my fellow crabby commuters and the random homeless/crazy person. Soon to be $3 each way, and $110 for a monthly pass, yipee!!!
