...chicago...










I have an affection for a great city.
 I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, 
and enjoy the sweet security of the streets.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow




Eventually, 
I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
Frank Lloyd Wright

last week.
saturday.
i was in chicago.
hunting for shadows.
i guess i tend to take.
off shot photos.
not so much of structure.
as things.
ordinary.
things.
anyway.
had a blast!!
 the crazy humidity.
is finally gone today.
it is 80 already.
but it has a coolness to it.
if that makes sense.
life.
is.
good.
just BE.

I enjoyed all your shots, as all I have seen is the airport, when I had a stopover on the way to Houston!

What lovely city shots...I've always wanted to visit Chicago and hope to one day. I've repeatedly heard what a beautiful city it is. Thank you for sharing your day!

Chicago is an amazing city, an urban jungle but in shadows, an urban oasis. The marquee with its numerous bulbs is a favorite, the traffic and lakeshore at dusk wonderful, the pier and porch places to relax as the rest of the busy city passes by. A magnificent place and artistic post!

Nice collection of shots from the Windy City.

I didn't see the post title and was wondering where the pix were taken!

Love the one with the little girl.

Happy shadow seeking this week, Robin ;-)

Love these Chicago images! Love the angled perspectives! A sense of spirit of place! That seems like an arty wall of water! And the little girl is adorable!
