Chicago: in pictures
So here ends the trip to Chicago, it has been magnificent and I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute, even if it was unbelievably cold. The people are friendly, the foods been great, stunning architecture, wonderful museums, you name it we've loved it. It's a big city without the overcrowded big city feel of say London and if it wasn't for the winters it's a city I could easily live in...........although if an offer came along, I wouldn't think twice.
Below is a selection of images from the trip. See you in California!
Chicago: sunsets and sunrises
Everyone loves a sunset or sunrise don't they? It's probably one of the most cliched of genres in photography, it's certainly one of the most uploaded photography themes on the internet. Throughout history humans have been drawn to the sun, moon and stars so it's no surprise really that we take, upload and gravitate towards these images, I personally love taking sunsets, I'm not good pre 6am!
Below are a set of shots from the Hancock Observatory in Chicago (more details in "Chicago: CityPass" post) and right at the end a couple of shots from an early morning -15/17 "stroll" to Lake Michigan for the sun rise which resulted in feeling numb all over despite having what felt like a million layers on!
Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed taking them.
