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.

ordinary.
things.

but it has a coolness to it.
if that makes sense.

Good eye and nice collection that moves the senses. I especially love the fence post shot.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all your shots, as all I have seen is the airport, when I had a stopover on the way to Houston!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteChicago 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!
ReplyDeleteNice collection of shots from the Windy City.
ReplyDeleteI 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 the softness of the wine glass shadows.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun time!
I love your perspective! Such luscious moments that you've captured.
ReplyDeleteLoved all your shots and shadows - especially of the reflections!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great eye for detail. I really enjoyed the unusual perspectives in these shots
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to taste that wine! :)
ReplyDeleteI posted a wrong link to sss - we're back in Helsinki but posting still from Spain.
Happy Sunday!
Joy shines through every one of your shadowy shots. I can tell you had a wonder-filled time in the Windy City.
