In Chicago

I was in Chicago near the end of the week for a conference. So what better place to take some pictures, right?

Morning in Chicago

This sunrise was the view from my hotel window. Catching two birds in flight was totally by chance (look really close in the upper-right corner).

The three images below were taken at roughly the same time, each showing slightly different views out my window:

A Brick Building

This building fascinated me for some reason. Don't ask why - I can't tell you. But I just love the colors that pop out of it! The image on the right is the building in more detail - what particularly fascinated me was the green stairs on the roof. I never really thought about it, but I guess someone has to get up to those big heating units to do maintenance, right? Speaking of heating units - can you tell it was cold that day?

Then I noticed this "thing" - not sure what it is, but thought it was interesting so I had to take a picture of it too!

All Lit Up

I call the image to the left "All Lit Up" - obviously the image has been played with a lot, but somehow it evokes something in me that I like. Not sure what - but there's definitely a "feel" here!

The image on the right is also of Chicago at night; I just love the "glow" evident here. I can definitely undersand why people love the skyline - because it's beautiful!
