The Street Where I Live ... I Wish, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

Chicago's Lake Shore Drive (along the shores of Lake Michigan) going north as seen from the observation deck of the John Hancock Tower. This was taken on a balmy day late summer two years ago - I drove up from downstate Illinois to see the sights of the city. I love the buildings' shadows cast on the drive.

Dear Susan, this is one of the pictures where I don't understand that no one else critiqued before after 133 views. It fits perfectly well into the TE Theme - Learning about the world through photography. Indeed the shadows give it an interesting aspect. No shadow is going out of the picture which is also good. I also like the part of land that goes out to the sea in the middle of the picture. Thanks for sharing.

This is a really great shot of the shore with all the apartment buildings creating a wall between the lake and the city. The shadows create a great horizontal interest and the haziness of the day adds a surreal feel to the photo as the skyscrapers and the horizon sort of blur together at the top. It is also sharp and detailed despite the amount of haze.
