Lake Michigan Ice Floes by taffy

Lake Michigan Ice Floes

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and favs which sent my photo of the seal pond to PP today. It was a great start to my birthday today!
Day to Remember:
1. Brunch with MariAnne while Jim deals with refrigerator replacement (went out yesterday and must replace before we leave town)
2. Haircut
3. Run a few errands and take daytime photographs of city in snow
4. Grade Papers
5. Go to party and P's and E's home
6. After party, Jim drives me to Museum Campus to take photos at night as part of my birthday present
7. Main b'day present (this is a 'big' birthday): Jim's gave me the photo trip to Japan this summer that Junko @jyokota and Michael @vankrey are leading! [ http://365project.org/discuss/general/19837/photo-trip-to-japan-join-us]
Photo is an HDR combined from three images F22, 8 - 30 seconds, taken near Planetarium looking back toward city and Navy Pier. Light trails are from the traffic on Lake Shore Drive.

Very unusual sight of the lake with Chgo skyline in the background... so different from the sunny and airy summer views.
Moody and wintery but really fascinating. Great shot.
