Had to work all day today and am no longer used it! Semi-retirement has changed the way I look at how a day should be spent very quickly! So this was on the way back from a meeting, like the 'old days' where I could only shoot between work activities. The Rookery (of spiral staircase and other shots) is the building on the left in the foreground. All in the financial district. And can be another one Gordon ons10.
Thanks for all the fun comments on my friendly, posing squirrel yesterday and on the super cold collage. Greatly appreciated!
I'm with Graeme! Winter is particularly difficult to get an image in during daylight. This has so many straight lines which really highlights the clock.
I currently work only 4 days a week. Can't wait till next year when I work only 3 days a week. I want to participate in things like ONS but I am so tired when I get home I usually can't process anything. People say you fill up the time quickly. Love how this looks like a picture taken before all the modern buildings.
I love photos of the old "skyscrapers" from before the days of all steel and glass buildings. This is just wonderful! It's one that I'd LOVE to hang on my wall!
This is stunning! Taffy, I would like you to have a book published with all of your wonderful Chicago photos!
(That's Ceres, the goddess of grain, on the top of the building. When I worked in the Sears Tower, we were just a couple of floors down from the top of the Chicago Board of Trade building, so I liked walking over to the windows and looking up at her.)
Knew this was yours as soon as I saw it. Great lines and patterns and perfect verticals. I can't imagine how I ever found time to go to work fulltime - it's great now to be able to choose what academic work I do and leave the less interesting or tedious now.
I hear you re working! I even recently went wild with frustration when I made the mistake of agreeing to do some portrait photography for $. Never again. Very nice lines, detail symmetry, b and w
@jgpittenger It's been a tough two days of actual real work with time commitments. Interesting to me how quickly I had morphed into 'semi-retired' with an emphasis on the retired part! A night shot today since I didn't get free again til after dark. Now I remember why I wanted to retire! At least it's temporary!
