Andie @ukandie1 planned a great photowalk today to various parking structures and train stations. The structures were chosen so we could be above ground level looking down (or at) the trains depending on what floor we went to. Here's Andie as we walked across the Chicago River: https://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2017-03-08 And from there you can see links to Andie's two shots from today that give you a picture of how high up were were at one point.
Thank you for your wonderful response to what I thought was just an okay shot from the Manhattan bridge -- greatly appreciated!
@lesip It was really lucky, in fact. It (two trains at the same time) doesn't happen often, we learned, as we waited in the blowing wind behind walls and then 'popped out' to the window when we thought we could hear two coming at the same time. For this one, I wasn't paying attention and heard Andie calling me to shoot quickly -- she was changing her battery and I'd been reviewing other shots -- so without her shout, I'd have missed it.
@ukandie1 I was thinking b&w would have maybe been better because then it would cover up the red lights and white lights showing they were going in different directions!
They do look like they are buddies travelling in tandem. Great timing. I keep coming back to see if you have left for Iceland yet. Must not be long now?
@bella_ss Thanks! We leave next Friday (17 - 27th). I'm so excited! Just was organizing my camera stuff today, and getting done everything for our move out of this condo before we leave for the trip.
