To say I’m a big fan of Cloud Gate in Millenium Park would be an understatement. There are so many opportunities for photos around this sculpture. I like this early morning shot because no one else was around, and the sun was just starting to light up the city.
Once people walked on these floors and these stairs. Now they are no more.
Call it the Stevenson Expressway, call it Interstate 55, but I call it a nice photo from the air. I was in Chicago and caught this view on my flight out. Of course I was hoping for a strange and unlikely route back across the city skyline from Midway, but that didn’t happen. Then I was hoping for some beautiful light from sunset that happened a few moments before this, but they turned the plane around and went back to the gate to pick up a passenger (honestly!) burning my precious time. In the end it all worked out, and I got some nice lighting in the sky and an interesting interchange below.
A favorite view of mine, and a fantastic sunset. I like the almost purple color in the sky with the intense orange reflected by the city skyline.
Taken from one of my favorite shooting locations in one of my favorite cities! This view of Chicago at night is fantastic, I shot it late at night but had enough light from the city to give it an eerie glow.
I had time for a few quick photos on my way from the bus stop to one of my favorite sunrise locations, the bean in Millennium Park. This particular building with some morning traffic in front of it was worth the stop.
Taken from the observation deck on the Sears (Willis) Tower in Chicago. These observations areas, which are essentially glass boxes, give you a view of the city in all directions including straight down!
The bare trees in the winter against the constant shape of the buildings in the city. The trees may have leaves, may have snow, or may be just empty branches but the city skyline will always stay the same.
This creepy looking grave in Graceland Cemetery in Chicago seemed perfect for my Halloween post. This old cemetery has many unique graves, but this one with a cloaked man watching over you had a certain presence to it.
The Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago is open air and very unique. The lights at dusk set it off against the sky perfectly.
