Chicago Evening, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

Chicago. Place of Blues, Jazz, Baseball, and what not.

Oh. Forgot to mention about the architectures of the buildings in Chicago. This photo was taken from Michigan Avenue, the most happening street in Chicago. Below is the Chicago River, and the lights that you see of the faraway street is Wabash Avenue. There are lot of architectural tours that you can take. You will sit in top of a small cruise and roam around in the Chicago river.

For those who dont know, the natural flow of the Chicago river was mechanically reversed so that it flows towards Mississippi, and away from the Lake Michigan. This was done to relieve Lake MI from the garbages brought over by the river as the lake is the main supply of drinking water.

PP: USM.

A fine expression Sourav. Colors and detail is good and the angle, pretty definitive for the night skyline and its skyscrapers.

The dark sky, and the lights on the buildings give this photo the look of a graphic novel. I think you framed this shot very well, and exposure is perfect.
