Town and Country

A quick week -- we leave in the morning for Beaver Island for the holiday weekend here in the U.S. (Labor Day weekend). I took this photo this afternoon, the Chicago River looking south toward the city. I'm actually standing behind Whole Foods grocery store! There's quite a nice little walkway in the middle of this commercial district called west Lincoln Park.
Thanks for your views and comments on my city shots. I look forward to catching up on commenting this weekend.

Great to have views like this in the city...looks like a far distant rural spot! Nice composition. The reflection and clouds calls for an unconventional centre of frame horizon placement.

amazing.....FAV

[Ryan Sullivan]

Beautiful, Taffy! I love the reflection and the alternate view of Chicago. Almost all photos I've seen of Chicago have focused on the buildings (and rightfully so), it's really interesting to see an image with a focus on the greenery and natural elements with the architecture being a small element in the background.

[Peter Dulis]

Wonderful reflections...

[Vicki Dixon]

excellent reflection...love that sky

[Bankmann]

Wow, dreamy atmosphere...
