My modus operandi is; location, location, location, then wait for an interesting character to augment the scene. Just like fishing.
Sure Chicago has gorgeous architecture and facades, but it's underbelly has beauty as well.
Here I was attracted by the two triangles and deep perspective.
In between lights I would pop out into the street and wait for a break in traffic. Instead I was rewarded by this beautiful angel strolling into frame.
I particularly like the triangle formed by the three people in the shot. The guy on the left is wondering, who's that dude crouching in the intersection?

Underneath the Chicago 'L' (short for "elevated") is the rapid transit system. Best photographed before the traffic gets busy.
This image was taken about 6am after overnight rain. This is what I get up to when jet-lagged!
This was shot on through a not-so=clean glass barrier on the top of the hotel we were staying in. If you look closely, you can see a reflection in the glass of another building that must have been behind me.

So many street corners like this downtown, with the "L" thundering overhead and residential and commercial properties jostling for space. Love it!

Light swirls! The boat that left these light trails can be seen in center of my last upload. Once we crossed the river, the boat was loaded with tourists and was starting the river tour. 21

I wonder what the lady is holding and staring at. Any idea, someone?

Two trains meet as they snake their way through a section of Elevated track in Chicago's River North neighborhood.

With buildings nearly up the water's edge, the area around the confluence is getting more and more "canyon-like".

On my walk from the subway to the Art Institute. Chicago architecture is endlessly facinating. (colors reinterpreted via Topaz & PSE)
