Description Chicago does a nice job trying to make the city still feel like it's environmentally friendly. While I'm not sure this is completely true, it still makes for nice photography. Hope you like this

Haha actually Chicago doesn't do that bad of a job in showing that they still want some nature even on the streets. The city itself is wonderful, just a shame the outskirts aren't all that good

oww i know what you mean about the outskirts. The downtown is nice, i wont lie, with the new architechture comming up it starts to look even better. Over all a cool city to live in.

Genesis-Orbit In reply to Silent-M [2009-05-15 02:21:47 +0000 UTC]

Definitely, but it's dumb that they're building all sorts of fancy architecture now, barely anyone can afford it.

Sadly, I'd just been to the airport for a stop-over and I was barely 6, so I don't remember.
... Great shot, Keith.

Perspective, and composition are so nice in this. The natural stree lighting, and vignetting really do it justice as well.

The shimmering lights add such beautiful colours to this. I love the angle, you get a nice contrast of nature and "urban nature". Oh congrats on Chicago's win over the Canucks last night, you watch hockey right?

Thanks! And yeah, that was probably one of the craziest playoff games I've ever seen lol, so much ups and downs xD. What team do you root for?

Oh my word, it was soo INTENSE. I'm a Canucks fan hurr hurr.
Man oh man, I was so disappointed, but it was a good game, home ice makes all the difference.

Tiggstar In reply to Genesis-Orbit [2009-05-13 14:38:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I know, for sure. Poor guy, he's such a great goalie. I'm originally a Ottawa Sens fan, the canucks are my back up, but seeing as Ottawa didn't do so hot this season, we'll have to see next season, seeing as we have a new goalie, who's much better than our current one.

Yeah you guys have had goaltender trouble since that one guy decided to kind of be a douche to everyone lol. My mom loves Ottawa for some reason, she's always like GO OTTAWA.

Preeeetty much..I forgot his name for a moment there, ah yes Emery. I think one of my friend's friend saw him in a bar, and wanted to talk to him but he was all "Don't talk to me unless you're buying me a drink." Geeez.
Ottawa's got some decent playas. I saw my fave player in pretty much) the only Christian Bookstore in Ottawa, and he was picking up some TFK CD's, I heard from someone that his friend is the lead singer. I totally snagged his autograph.
Props to you mom for such good taste in hockey teams.

Sadly the angle was pretty much pre determined since I didn't have a tripod lol. I used a rock to balance it xD.
