Under the Bridges

While Jim worked on Thanksgiving dinner, my brother, SIL, and I did a 4 1/2 miles urban hike to Lake Michigan and back along the Chicago Riverwalk. Then, back home to do our part to help with the dinner. All came together well and it's a good thing we burnt some calories earlier in the day. Hope you all have enjoyed your day - holiday or not.

What a fabulous city you live in, your photos give me a real taste of Chicago.

[Diana]

Cool shot.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Great details and there's a feel of an oasis of calm in this - it looks like one of those suddenly quiet places that you sometimes happen upon in cities.

[Leon Buijs]

Great city shot, like all the lines in the bridges and railing

[Rosie Kind]

A lovely reminder of my time in Chicago Fav. Happy thanksgiving

[Pam Knowler]

Oh how lovely to see these fabulous bridges! As Rosie @rosiekind says this is a wonderful reminder of our great walks along the river and of course our fabulous views from our hotel this year! I love Chicago - a photographers dream! Fav! So pleased you had a lovely Thanksgiving with your family!

[Taffy]

@ukandie1 I kept thinking of you in the kitchen *not* delegating, while we were off on our walks and Jim was doing all the cooking!

[Helen Jane]

Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate - Ill have to see what my chances of doing something similar on Christmas day. (I already know actually - zero). This is a great bridges shot with all four lined up in golden browns and the modern architecture peeping out over the top. Love it.

[Rachel]

Your photos make me want to come and visit. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[Ukandie!]

@taffy lol...I was very proud of myself (as was Nik) I delegated to Nik and I have to say it saved me a ton of time and stress. She was the perfect person to have in the kitchen. We had a great thanksgiving, sounds like you did too!

[*lynn]

wonderful clarity and light, interesting comp

[Tom]

Great pov and light as we travel under the bridges

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Awesome shot

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

One of our favorite places to be when we go to Chicago is downtown by and among the bridges. Nice image here. If you have a moment, check out this shot I took from the Michigan Avenue bridge, back in 2006. http://www.gshearronimages.com/Art-Show-Images-1/i-GCPJTL4/A

@ggshearron Just checked it out - a classic and beautifully done.
