My kind of town, Chicago is!
« on: May 07, 2007, 03:02:30 PM »
Now that you have Frank Sinatra playing in your head, I will show you one of the pictures I took while on a fun photo day in downtown Chicago last week.  It was a beautiful day to explore Millennium Park.  This is a view of the city from the gardens.

Fly me to the moon,
Let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars..

Nice shot!

I like this shot. Mostly you don't see much flowers in American cityshapes.
Last week there was in Holland a short reportage about Narcisses who were donated by a Dutchman to new york. Specially for 9 / 11 He gave hal a million bulbs. Now there are several million donated by him and eveything was turned yellow and white

I liked this story of genorosity.

I like the comparison of the flowers as being an equal to the skyscrapers in magnitude.  Great job!!  I don't know if that's what you meant to do, but that's what I read into the image.  I hope you don't mind, here are two more images of mine from Chicago last fall.  I have really enjoyed my time there, although I have only been there twice for short stays during a Manufacturing Trade Show.

P.S.  Happy to see you over on this forum.

First shot is great!
I like the contrast between flowers and buildings.
