Here's another look at the Chicago skyline and its icy shoreline along Lake Michigan at Monroe Harbor. One thing about Chicagoans, you can't say we don't know sheet :) Happy Friday!

The wonderful circular marshland on the edge of the beach.

After several gloomy days, and a few gloomy images, I thought a little winter light was in order. I was lucky enough to be up on Herefordshire Beacon (also known as British Camp) at sunset on one of the shortest days of the year. The low light lit up the sky and the snow lying in the ramparts of the Iron Age hill fort. A cold but delightful way to spend the end of a winter's day.

The lovely church and churchyard at Castle Rising.

Mi Sigma105 se ha quedado sin estabilizador.

Una caida fortuita lo ha roto, y la reparación cuesta casi tanto como un objetivo nuevo.

Por lo tanto, mi reto es aprender a fotografiar perfeccionando aún más si cabe mi pulso ( tripode: no, gracias ).

Estas fotos son las primeras que he hecho hoy en mi nueva etapa .

An El train passes a curved office building at the corner of Wells and Hubbard Streets in Chicago's River North neighborhood. I took this photo from the second level of a parking garage across the street. In fact, if you look closely, you might even see me in the reflection :)
