Over the Tracks

This really needs a better title -- so glad I processed the image this afternoon as by tonight I can't stop coughing and feel terrible. And tomorrow morning is when they turn Chicago's river green...sadly I won't be going now. So this is another train capture for the Wabash & Adams station from Wednesday's walk with Andie @ukandie1 - thanks for your wonderful comments and favs on the spotted platform! And for putting my Grand Central shot from NY at the top of TT. Except for my cold, it was a great day!
This is terrific!

Great shot! Almost has a tilt-shift quality to it. Hope you're feeling better for the parade - although, it's going to be super cold out there!

Lovely shadows and reflections on both sides of the street.

This is my favourite so far in your wonderful train series! So much to look at! The lines and shadows just beautiful and that view right at the end of the track! Perfect positioning for your shot! Love it! I never thought I would be such a trainspotter! Lol! Huge Fav for this one!
Congrats on top of TT! Again! Hope you feel better soon - keep in the warm! When are you off to Iceland? You need to be better!

This leapt off the TP yelling Taffy 😉 This is such a strong cityscape, it ought to be hanging on a few walls. Hope you feel better very soon.

@michaelelliott Thanks Michael -- it would be fun for you to photograph here someday.

I would have thought the green river would match your colour nicely Taffy
March 11th, 2017  
This is terrific. The train really gives height to those buildings.
March 11th, 2017  
Awesome, amazing capture, Hope you feel better soon.
March 11th, 2017  
@taffy - will do for sure some time
March 11th, 2017  
Awesome shot
March 11th, 2017  
Great shot- Threading the Needle came to mind- not sure it makes sense though. Anyway- I hope you feel better or at least well enough to take a quick peak at the green river.
March 11th, 2017  
Love the lines and shadows in this shot! Hope you're feeling better!
March 11th, 2017  
Neat photo! I love the blue lines leading to the sky. Hope you are feeling better soon.
March 12th, 2017  
I spent ages looking at this marvellous shot and could spend ages more. To my mind this shot has got the lot: strong leading lines; contrasting architectural styles, each with its own characteristics; light and shade and a tall narrow building at the apex of the pov to pull the eye right into it. Do hope you feel better soon, common though they are colds make the patient feel so darned lousy and miserable. BTW, why is the river going green?
March 12th, 2017  
Fabulous shot with your pov and all the lines. Hope you feel better soon.
March 12th, 2017  
@golftragic Thanks for such kinds (and specific) comments, Marnie! I appreciate it! River goes green on St. Patrick's day, but always on the Saturday closest to it before the 15th. Haven't left the sofa all day...365 has been my only contact with the outside world!
March 12th, 2017  
Incredible picture and perspective.
March 12th, 2017  
@taffy I'm surprised you made it to the sofa. I'm so rarely sick (just wear out bits) that I'm a real wimp when I am. I wondered about St Paddy's Day, but that was nearly a week away. What a terrific idea to green the river, amazed that no-one has (yet) thought of that hear. We have lots of Irish blood here too.
March 12th, 2017  
Brilliant pov. Hope you feel much better.
March 12th, 2017  
Awesome shot! a fav.
March 12th, 2017  
Fabulous light and lines. I hope you are feeling better soon.
March 12th, 2017

You get special points for hiding the you know what sign :) This was such a fun day!
March 13th, 2017  
Love the lines, brilliant shot
March 13th, 2017  
Wow! Such a wonderful perspective.
March 14th, 2017  
@ukandie1 Heehee!! I wondered if you'd notice! I figure only Chicagoans might...
March 14th, 2017  
I love the blue leading lines to the blue sky and building. Wow.
