"A Left-Eyed View", Sabourin, Chicago Skyline

Chiberia's Skyline

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 13 February 2019 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A view of the Chicago skyline as seen from Montrose Harbor.
This was taken a few days after Chicago experienced a near record cold temperature. Chicago was colder than many locales around the world known for its cold temperatures.

I didn't want to venture out with my camera during the cold weather for fear that it would lead to condensation building inside the camera itself.

The white amoebic form that you see in the middle of the photo are shards of ice that were paper thin and piled on top of each other, perhaps due to currents under the ice.

Photo captured February 2, 2019.

What a beautiful image of the Chicago skyline, Steven, especially with the snow/ice in the foreground. I lived in that windy city for a year way back in my 20s and know how cold it can get.

Current winters are full of surprises. It was a long time for us to snow and the frosts were tough. Now the air has slipped and, according to ennsuteidfen, the temperatures will rise many degrees above the nail. Right now there is a degree of frost and snow falling.

Vraiment impressionnant cette glace et je comprends ton inquiétude pour ton APN.
Ce sont des Bernaches du Canada ?
Merci pour les explication.
Bonne journée Steven

I like the light and the skyline. I live on the Delaware river. WHen we get extremely cold weather, ice chunks form on the river and pile up agains each other similar to this.

Luckily I do not have to go through extreme cold. But if I am given the choice of cold or heat, I choose the cold.
Beautiful view.
