Saturday Night Dusk by taffy

Saturday Night Dusk

I joined a Chicago area "meetup" with Daniel (@danielwsc) and Annette ( @anwan) at the Harry 'Bus' Yourell Aeration Station, with about 20 other photographers. It was an opportunity to practice steel wool painting without worrying that I would catch myself and everything around me on fire. What I hadn't expected was the beauty of the area with the collection pools, water fowl, flowing water, bridge, along with the steel wool painting. Deciding on a single shot is impossible, so I'm treating it as several separate 'events.' This week will be 'Areation Station week' in addition to my get-pushed challenge. I chose this photo to post first because it conveys the area. About 40 minutes outside Chicago, it's a lovely world in the midst of some fairly nondescript suburbs (I grew up in one of them so am not critiquing as an outsider!).
Fabulous image! I love all the golden tones represented and the clarity of the water.

This is so pretty and the way you processed it makes me think of a George Serat impressionist painting of people picnicking in the park. fav
