Lakeshore Drive, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

Whoever been to Chicago and the observatory at the 95th floor of John Hancock tower would not have missed views, of Lake Michigan and Chicago, which is inexpressible in words. And, at night, with all the lights, it has a dramatic appearance. The road in the photo is Lakeshore Drive, at the left side you can see the skyscrapers of the Chicago downtown, and at the right side, top corner, you can see a glimpse of Lake Michigan which is pounding into the small beach, creating criss-cross shapes of yellow and dark brown ... dry and wet sand ...

although the view is spectacular, taking photos of it gave me a hard-time ... there are numerous spot lights which are pointed towards the window glass ... and i had to fight to find a frame so that i dont capture those reflections ...

unsharp masked in photoshop ...

Hello Sourav, You have some very nice cityscapes and landscapes. This is very dramatic. The street lights and light trails here have created a very beautiful, almost abstract picture.
