The Windy City

Uploaded by: Sunnyguy — Thursday May 10, 2012 — Chicago, IL (Current Weather Conditions)

It isn’t often that the winds are calm in “The Windy City”, but tonight conditions were perfect. I have been taking photos of Chicago for 40 years and each time something new has been added. Tonight the lights on the Hancock building that caused the purple streak in the water on the right are new. Monday night it was calm and clear at home, but when I arrived at the lake it was very foggy. My photo lacked the tall buildings and the buildings that were visible looked like ghosts. I posted that photo, so you can compare that photo with this. By the way Venus is in the upper left.

About Sunnyguy
Sunnyguy I am a retired high school math teacher. My passions in retirement are my grandkids, photography and woodworking. I live in a suburb of Chicago, but love the canyons of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. A perfect day is hiking, taking photos, and sleeping in my truck or under the stars in the backcountry. I have studied the “wunderful” photos on this site for a long time and your photos have inspired me and helped me to improve my photography.
