Speaking of Ceres

A friend sent me a link to the new trailer for Batman film, The Dark Knight; which was filmed partially in Chicago(Gotham City). Being a fan of the dark knight and a Chicagoian, I was delighted to see all the scenes that were filmed a mere block away from my workplace. One such scene is a fly-over shot of the Chicago Board of Trade(CBOT) building which happens to be capped with a 31 foot (9.5 m) tall statue of the goddess Ceres. A more in-depth look into the syncromysticism associated with the cereal goddess can be found here and here.

Here is a screen grab of the fly-over shot showing Ceres on top of the Chicago Board of Trade building.


Most of the city scenes shown in this trailer were filmed in front of the CBOT building, at the end of South LaSalle Street, downtown Chicago.

I'd like to give a shout out to Todd, over at Through the Looking Glass, for all of his Cere-ous research. Be sure to visit his fantastic blog.

That should look GREAT on the Big Screen! Thanks for the shout-out.

Hope you are well.
