Where the Geese Were Flying by taffy

Where the Geese Were Flying

I only posted this because I realized that the point where the man was standing and the geese flying toward him was what I'd featured in this shot -- the 'spit' that extends into the water. The shot in my main album today - http://365project.org/taffy/365/2018-01-10 - was taken from the shoreline looking back toward that curved end of the spit. The water was almost the same color. The time of day for this shot was a few hours later than when I photographed the geese.
Incredible picture.

Lovely curvy coast line and sense of place. What are the segmented off areas? Swimming areas?

@jgpittenger Thanks Jane! I'm not sure as we are so rarely here in the summer. I think they represent different beaches (named by street names) like Oak Street Beach which is the big one. And there are volley ball sections for tournaments as those are usually still up in the fall. And small sailboat and rowing clubs. It's a really vibrant area of the city all spring, summer, and fall.

Lovely coastline of a city.

@pamknowler Andie and I were talking about getting an annual pass so that it would be a 'no big deal' to stop by, even on a cloudy day (wouldn't it be cool to get shots of the tops of buildings above the clouds?). It's quite a resource in the city!

I'm glad you posted it - it is really interesting to see this view of the coast. And the light giving emphasis to the towers in the foreground makes the shot extra special.

What an amazing city Chicago must be. Love the photo.

What a fascinating coastline!

@jgpittenger The segments are defined by erosion control structures built perpendicular to the beach called groins or groynes. Never seen the seaward ends connected like that. If the wind or current usually runs from top of frame to bottom, it's probably a way to keep floating debris off the beaches.

Love the combination of the warm light reflecting of the buildings and the cold look of the water

Great shot of a spectacular view.
