This photo was taken from the rooftop of our friends' home. We went up to photograph the fireworks over Lake Michigan, but they were too low in the sky this year. Although the Sears Tower was the focus of this photo, I like that the foreground buildings clearly situate the location where I was when the photo was taken, and brings memories of a delightful evening with friends. What I learned: I need to figure out how to use my new tripod before going out in the cold winter night. And I need more practice with night photography.
It captures the setting and brings me into the Sears Tower (it will never be Willis to me). I like the lighting of the black against the other buildings and the sky.
