On my way to the city centre I noticed that the gate to the back yard of a shop was open with fairy lights sparkling, so I took the opportunity to quickly take a photo of the scene.
I can't resist fairy lights when I have mounted a vintage (or fast) lens onto one of my cameras ; ))
[ manual Ricoh XR Rikenon 50mm f1.4 on a Pentax K-70, stopped down a bit ]
Been lazy long enough...time to dust off the camera.
Haven't taken any photos for a few months, as I have been entirely focused on saying farewell to Wrigleyville, finding and purchasing a condo, moving, and ongoing decorating dilemmas. Am now a resident of Rogers Park, a neighborhood I have always loved. Am looking forward to catching up on what I've missed from all my flickr friends :-)
Happy Window Wednesday
After a fun time with some of the family at my daughter's home last evening, heading out soon for more family homes for some good eats and times.
This capture posted here is at my sister's house, there along Middle River. Head there soon for brunch.
Hopefully getting some Christmas photos today with family.
Merry Christmas
The window washer was dangling around 60th floor of the famous twisted Cayan building in Dubai UAE.
Do you see him? :)
A snippet of the building background:
Cayan Tower, known as Infinity Tower before it was inaugurated, is a 306-metre-tall (1,004 ft), 73-story skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by Cayan Real Estate Investment and Development. The tower is designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill SOM architectural group, the same group who did the concept design for the Burj Khalifa, also in Dubai, and Trump Tower in Chicago. Upon its opening on 10 June 2013, the tower became world's tallest high-rise building with a twist of 90 degrees, this has been surpassed by the Shanghai Tower.
The north rose window at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres. Dedicated to the Virgin, it is the most detailed of the four rose windows in the cathedral. It is amazing that so many of the magnificent stained glass windows survived both the French Revolution and World War II. Chartres Cathedral was a highlight of our October trip to France.
Happy weekend! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
