Night at the Bean before the Snow Hit by taffy

Night at the Bean before the Snow Hit

Just as @ukandie1 and I were setting up tripods to photograph skaters against the city's skyline next to Millennium Park, the sky opened up with rain and then snow. By the time we got to shelter, we were drenched. Cameras were safe in little plastic protectors I'd had in my kit bag and our fingers stayed warm using the hot-glove things Andie had in her bag. Good thing we had a little time doing some hand-held shots while we were still dry, on our way to the skating section. Hoping for a second chance midweek.
@ukandie1 Just deleted most of my shots -- lots of spots on the ones after the snow hit! Still, it was fun!

What a great capture. Sounds freezing there. We are hitting 30 in the mornings and 60 midday with all blue sky. Fires still burning in So Ca with smoke wrapping around and onto the coast of San Francisco. Sad what has happened in Ca this year in fires. FAV

Great to see this on the Curated Page Taffy! I love this!

You can't be considered an *Artiste* without suffering a little! (Try telling yourself that!) This is sensational, and undoubtedly it's going to the Top 20 in short order! LOVE it!

Fabulous -- love the sweeping skyline at a swoopy angle!
