Over the Tracks at Sunset

I was craving a little color in this month of b&w. Taken from the Green Line Morgan Street station which is my current stop for getting to our rental in Fulton Market. @ukandie1 made a comment that inspired this shot, noting that the skyline has changed a lot just in the past year. These three main buildings did not exist in our skyline a year ago. The foreground one is a rental residence, the two in the background are office/commercial buildings.
Like that

I'm running out of superlatives for your Chicago cityscape shots Taffy. I like this photo very much, the train gives such a good sense of place and scale to the shot and the three buildings are a wonderful counterfoil to the old technology of railways. Love the way you've caught the light on the lines too.
February 16th, 2017  
Love this shot...great lines, composition, reflections, light
February 16th, 2017

Great shapes framed by shapes. Glorious colour. You are so good at showing off your city with such beautiful architectural shots.
February 16th, 2017  
Chicago is obviously a city of the future... great shot, I guessed it was yours as soon as I saw it on the TP.
February 17th, 2017  
Awesome sky and reflection of the sun in the buildings!

Gorgeous cityscape - love the light in this.

Brilliant pov and such gentle colours in the sky and reflections.
February 17th, 2017  
@vignouse There was a long drought here of construction starting around 2009, and all the building going now seems to be in response to a shortage that period of stagnation caused. Hard for us to figure out how they'll ever fill all the buildings.
February 17th, 2017  
Great approach shot
February 17th, 2017  
Lovely colours reflected in the buildings. I like how they match the lights of the train :)

Great warm colours, love how the yellow train lights match the yellow of the sunset reflection in the buildings - fav
February 17th, 2017  
Fantastic shot

I love your b&w shots, but I think the colors make this one. The sky against the lit buildings with their reflections is quite wonderful.
February 18th, 2017  
Fabulous shot.
February 18th, 2017  
@casablanca Very kind of you to say this! And I really have gotten a bit bored with b&w so this was a nice distraction.
February 18th, 2017  
Great shot! I know you're going to "hate" this but I think it would look good in black and white too! (o: Love the golden glow of the sunset though.
